If I Want To Remain In The Senate Forever, I Will – Ekweremadu

Ike Ekweremadu, deputy senate president, has said if he chooses to remain in the upper legislative chamber forever, he will.

Ekweremadu made this known yesterday while addressing the audience at an event organised by the Not Too Young To Run movement.

The theme of the event was ‘Youth Candidacy and the Future of Nigeria Beyond 2019.’

He admonished the young political aspirants to go back to their grassroots and “pay your dues.”

“I’m in total touch with my people and that is why if I want to remain in senate forever, I will,” Ekweremadu said.

“PDP is not a home for urban politicians, for young people. If you want to participate in politics, you have to pay your dues and the best place to pay your dues is your local community.

“That is where we all started from. Don’t think you will go to the house of representatives or house of assembly by running around Wadatda Plaza, it’s not going to work.”

The deputy senate president has been in upper legislative chamber for more than a decade.

Naija News recalls Senate President Bukola Saraki declared his intention to run for office of the president at the event.
