Senator Ike Ekweremadu, Former Deputy Senate President, says no amount of media campaign would make him shelve his gubernatorial ambition.

This is coming amidst pressures from several stakeholders in Ebonyi state, urging him to respect an existing zoning arrangement.

But the former lawmaker said he would remain in the race.

Speaking through the Director-General of his campaign organization, Mr. Ogbonna Asogwa, Ekweremadu said he won’t be dissuaded by what he called
“a galore of sponsored lies, forgeries, intimidation, and press statements against” his ambition.

He said he had noted with dismay, “but with utmost trust in God, the desperation of some elements to stop His Excellency, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, PhD, CFR, from contesting the 2023 Enugu State governorship election.”

While dismissing the zoning document unveiled to the media earlier in the week, he said, “we unequivocally state, for avoidance of doubt, that it is not the business of the caucus under the PDP Constitution to zone elective offices.”

“We are happy that our recently unveiled pathway to a new Enugu overwhelmingly resonating with the people. That is what matters for now”,
