Former Deputy President of the Nigerian Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu has expressed his intention to contest the 2023 governorship election in Enugu State.
Ekweremadu is the current Senator representing Enugu West in the National Assembly, Daily Dates Nigeria reports.
The Senator announced his governorship ambition at a media briefing in Enugu.
Ekweremadu while addressing journalists also described the zoning arrangement spreading in the state as a “treachery of politics”, adding that there is no such in the state.
Ekweremadu said he served as deputy senate president in the sixth, seventh and eighth assemblies not out of zoning, but because he enjoyed popular support. Elected in 2003, Ekweremadu has spent more than 19 years in the Senate.
