Senator Ike Ekweremadu the Last PDP Standing and His Future

Senator Ike Ekweremadu is the last PDP member standing or rather the highest PDP elected member who has a place in the federal government. He is thus in control of PDP. Usually in nations that operate with two strong political parties, each of the parties manage to control an arm of the government, the presidency or the senate or the House. The leader of the arm of government under the opposition party is considered the head of the party for he/she is the only person who can do something in the government. PDP does not control any arm of the Nigeria government except that due to APC’s weakness PDP has the senate deputy president’s post. As the highest ranking PDP member DSP Ekweremadu commands national attention. Exhibit one would be the kind of people who attended his “book lunching,” whatever that means. PDP stalwarts, APC rank and file and even the president via a representative were all there to hear the deputy senate president outline how he sees the future of Nigeria.

Good for him.

Being the effective leader of the opposition is an honor, a privilege, and a challenge.
