Former Deputy President of the Senate, Chief Ike Ekweremadu, has announced his withdrawal from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) gubernatorial primaries.
The Director-General, Ikeoha Campaign Organisation, Mr Charles Asogwa, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday in Enugu.
Recall that the PDP had fixed May 25, 2022, for its primaries to select the flag-bearer of the party in the 2023 gubernatorial election in the state.
However, Asogwa said that the senator representing Enugu West Senatorial District would no longer participate in the exercise.
“We wish to inform our supporters and Nigerians that Sen. Ike Ekweremadu will not be participating in the PDP governorship primary election scheduled for this Wednesday, May 25, 2022.
“We continue to trust God as we appreciate our teeming supporters and people of Enugu State for the goodwill they have ceaselessly invested in the actualisation of the ‘Pathway to a New Enugu State.’
“We urge them to remain peaceful and be assured that we will keep them abreast of our decision on the way forward,” Asogwa said.
