Governor Rochas Okorocha has called on Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, to get ready to lose his leadership seat in the Senate.

According to him, Benjamine Uwajumogu, a candidate in last Saturday's senatorial election rerun in Imo State would displace Ekweremadu.

“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, Benjamine Uwajumogu, will take over the seat on the grounds 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 according to Punch.

“Senator Ekweremadu had known that such a development was not only feasible but inevitable and that was why he fully funded the candidate of the PDP in the re-run senatorial poll in Okigwe zone and also relocated to the state three days to the election date.”
