Director General of the Voice of
Nigeria (VON), Osita Okechukwu, has vowed to retire the Deputy Senate
President, Ike Ekweremadu, from politics.
He made this known in a statement
on Wednesday while speaking on his aspiration for election into the Senate in
2019 under the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Okechukwu said he would be
contesting to represent Enugu West Senatorial District, currently represented
by Ekweremadu.
In the statement, Okechukwu asked
his party members in the district to support his ambition, adding that he would
retire Ekweremadu from the Senate.
“My dear APC compatriots, may I
seek your endorsement to retire Ike Ekweremadu from the Senate. I pledge to
give the good people of Enugu West Senatorial District the following service –
selfless, revamp Enugu coal, eastern corridor railway and cassava and rice
settlement,” he said.
Okechukwu did not, however,
indicate when he would publicly declare his intention in Enugu.
A strong supporter of President
Muhammadu Buhari, Okechukwu was appointed DG of VON in May 2016.
Ekweremadu, a member of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is currently spending his fourth term at the
upper legislative chamber of the National Assembly having been first elected in
2003.
Look at all these selfish and wicked aims so call APC candidate, bunch of failures, your very self is due for retirement due to that your plenty white hair, old cargo's are not welcome for any reason come 2019, nonsense!
