Ike Ekweremadu, Deputy Senate President

Senator Ike Ekweremadu, has said his reason for joining politics was to address the issue of marginalisation of his people.

Ekweremadu made the statement, while addressing leaders of Udi North Forum that paid him a solidarity visit.

 “I joined politics to address the issue of marginalization by influencing government policies which will help in providing the needs of the people. “I can see and feel marginalisation in Udi North and my vision is to change the fortunes of the people of the area for good. That’s why most of our projects in the areas of water, roads, and electricity   are sited in places where the people cannot help themselves.”

He said that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Enugu State is focused on how to improve the welfare of the people and not about those who are looking for a new party to join. He also said that history has tended to repeat itself in Enugu State where former governors are quick to join another party, but ended up not recovering from it.

He assured the   people in the state of the determination of the governor and himself in finding a lasting solution to their needs, stressing that “we are lucky to have a governor who is kind hearted and is thinking in the same direction.” Ekweremadu lauded Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi  for addressing marginalisation in the state in terms of infrastructure and appointments Earlier, the leader of the forum, Prof Edwin Onyeneje, told Ekweremadu that they were in his house to acknowledge his effective representation and generosity.
