APC Youths Vow to Retire Ekweremadu from Senate, Endorse VON DG
The group said rather than allow a fifth term for Ekweremadu, they will throw their weight behind the Director General of the Voice of Nigeria (VON), Mr. Osita Okechukwu, who has already declared his intention to seek the Senate.
He said unlike Ekweremadu who was buying Okada motorcycles for youths, Okechukwu would revamp the abundant coal deposits in Enugu State to ensure the creation of employment for thousands of youths in Enugu West.
He equally assured that Okechukwu, a Buharist, no doubt as a senator would easily key into President Buhari's RRAP Projects - Roads, Rails and Agriculture – geared towards reinvigorating the economy of the country and generating employment.
His statement titled “Why Mr. Osita Okechukwu wants to retire Senator Ekweremadu,” read in part: “All Progressives Congress (APC) Youth Circle, without being immodest wishes to state clearly why APC presumptive consensus senatorial candidate, Mr Osita Okechukwu wants to retire Distinguished Senator Ike Ekweremadu, the Deputy Senate President from the senate.
“Mr Osita Okechukwu with his antecedents will give selfless service to the good people of Enugu West Senatorial District. He will unite the zone which has been divided by Senator Ekweremadu's divide and rule tactics.
“Mr. Okechukwu will revamp Enugu Coal to be used to generate electricity and provide employment to thousands of youths. Distinguished Senator Ekweremadu never mentioned the huge coal deposit in the district in his 16 years sojourn. Okechukwu has been on this mission and it is elementary knowledge that he will facilitate the revamping of the coal deposits in Inyi, Amansiodo, Onyeama and Okpara mines, better as a senator."
Ekweremadu is presently on his fourth term in the Senate and represents Enugu West senatorial district.
But in a statement made available to newsmen and signed by its General Coordinator, Geoffrey Eze, the Youth Group insisted that representation had gone beyond donating motorcycles and tricycles to young people in the localities.
They promised that Okechukwu with his antecedents would give selfless service to the people of Enugu West and unite the zone, which they claimed had been divided by "Ekweremadu’s divide and rule tactics".
