The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu stated this while addressing the mammoth gathering at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, Enugu, during the flag-off of the Enugu State presidential campaign at the weekend.
He said: “Today, we have assembled to showcase our love for the PDP. And we have reasons to do so.
“PDP
is the party that gave our people the President of Senate of this
country. They gave us Deputy President of the Senate. They gave us the
National Chairman and Secretary of the PDP. They gave us the Governor of
the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN. They gave us the Minister of Finance.
They gave us the Chief of Army Staff for the time since after the civil
war. They gave us the Inspector General of Police. In fact, they gave
us a sense of belonging.
“But since the PDP lost power at the
centre, we lost all these. Now, we are going back to power. Now, we are
believing that with our own son as the Vice President and our sister as
the First Lady, we will return to power. So, this is down to our
people”.
In terms of infrastructure, Ekweremadu said the PDP
started the Second Niger Bridge, that the PDP also gave the South East
“access to the international community through the international
airport, just to name but a few”.
“So, the PDP has done so much for us, but the good news is that the party is even ready to do more for us.
“Therefore,
when we go to the polls on 16th February 16, we will vote Atiku
Abubabar as President and Mr. Peter Obi as his Vice President, and
return all the PDP candidates to the National Assembly. We will do the
same on 2nd March and return our Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, and all our
House of Assembly candidates”, he added.
