Facts have emerged on the purported secret visit of the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, to the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, on Friday.
A cross section of Political Analysts have described Ekweremadu’s visit, as a move to dump the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
“Ekweremadu knows fully well that the PDP is sinking in Enugu. It is suicidal for him to remain there, hence the meeting for soft landing”, a source said.
Although, sources in the Senate have dismissed reports that the visit was political motivated.
They revealed that the Lawmakers, who are members of the Senate Committee on Constitution Review, paid the “solidarity” visit, after holding their meeting in Lagos State.
Reacting to the visit, a Lawmaker said: “The Committee was in Lagos, as part of its activities on the review of the Constitution. It has 36 members across political parties, and with each State represented.
“Although, there are two instances where myself and a Senator from Lagos, facilitated a meeting between Tinubu and Ekweremadu, this particular meeting is in recognition of Asiwaju as an elder statesman.
“They are in Lagos, and they felt that either officially or unofficially, Asiwaju is synonymous with Lagos. It is like visiting the landlord.”
