The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has congratulated former Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu on attaining the age of 59.
In a Wednesday statement signed by National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, the party described the Enugu senator as an exceptionally patriotic Nigerian, a courageous leader and excellent legislator, who has remained steadfast and resilient in the quest for the entrenchment of democratic tenets of justice, equity, rule of law and constitutional order in our country.
The party said it was proud of Senator Ekweremadu’s selfless contributions towards the unity and development of Nigeria as well as the growth and stability of the PDP for the task ahead.
The PDP implored Senator Ekweremadu not to relent in his efforts but to continue in using his wealth of experience in the legislature to ensure that we get the enabling laws to move our nation forward.
“We urge him to continue to use his experience and proficiencies to rally other lawmakers and stakeholders to engender the desired improvements in our electoral act to ensure that Nigerians are no longer shortchanged in elections and that their collective will is not subverted particularly, in the 2023 general elections.
“The PDP congratulates Senator Ekweremadu and prays to God to continue to bless him with many more years in good health,” the statement further read.
