The Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, says the people of South-East have no regret in their decision to vote for the Peoples Democratic Party, in the last general elections.
According to Ekweremadu, the people of the region will vote the same way, if another opportunity presents itself.
He said this on Saturday, June 13, on arrival at Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, where he was received by a crowd of supporters and political allies.
He said: “We have no regret. Igbos have no regret for the way they voted; if they have the opportunity tomorrow, they will do it again. We are convinced we voted rightly, and because we believe we are part and parcel of this country, we believe what we got is within our right.
“So we expect that APC should be able to accommodate the people of South-South as they form their government, because don’t forget that Buhari got about 15 million votes; we have more than 150 million Nigerians, so he is not the President of 15 million people; the rest of the people must be accommodated.”
“In fact, that was why when we saw that it appears that South-East and South-South were being marginalised in the scheme of things, we decided to take a shot so that our people will be part and parcel of government, so that every part of Nigeria will have a sense of belonging”, Ekweremadu added.
