Deputy Senate President (DSP) Ike Ekweremadu has promised to go down fighting.
Sorry, he’s promised not to go down at all.
According to the Peoples Democratic Party, the Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase, has summoned the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, over the alleged forgery of the Senate Rules used in the upper house’s recent (and controversial) election of its principal officers. The PDP alleges that the APC was bent on unseating Ekweremadu who emerged DSP against the run of play.
Not to worry, in a statement made available through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Uche Anichukwu, Ekweremadu said:
“I wish to assure all Nigerians and concerned members of the international community that everything is under control and that all democratic steps are being taken to preserve the nation’s democracy and protect the independence of the legislature.
“I further assure Nigerians that necessary steps are being taken by the security agencies to beef up security around me.
“I also appreciate the nation’s security agencies for their professional handling of the situation so far, and acknowledge with a deep sense of gratitude the numerous youths across the country who have volunteered to provide additional security around me.
“In all these, however, let it be known that no amount of intimidation or harassment will deter me from carrying out the constitutionally prescribed duties, which on June 9, 2015, PDP and APC Senators willingly elected me in the full glare of the world to perform.”
