Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu has frowned at fake news purporting division in the Peoples Democratic Party ahead of the 2019 presidential election.
Ekweremadu described the reports as “cheap blackmail, smear campaign and extreme propaganda” and urged party faithful and supporters not to be distracted by what he called “the lie mills as the nation approaches the critical stages of the 2019 elections, but to remain focused.”
The lawmaker, who took to his social media handles @iamekweremadu to make the explanations, said: “My attention has been drawn to the orchestrated attempts by some characters to create the impression of a divided house in Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the coming presidential election. Such characters dish out fake and divisive stories without source on a daily basis and attribute same to me.”
