Imo state governor, Rochas Okorocha, says the position of deputy senate president which is being occupied by PDP’s Ike Ekweremadu is under threat and in no distant time will be replaced with APC Senator, Benjamin Uwajumogu, who won the senatorial re-run election for Okigwe senatorial seat over the weekend.
Okorocha said this at a victory party for Uwajumogu in the state yesterday July 25th
“The position of Senator Ike Ekweremadu as the Deputy Senate President is at the moment under heavy threat because in no distant time, the APC Senator in waiting from Imo State, Benjamins Uwajumogu, will take over the seat on the ground that it is an aberration that a PDP senator from the South-East is Deputy to an APC Senate President because, before now, APC could not produce a senator from the South-East zone”he said
