Former deputy Senate president and governorship aspirant in Enugu State, Dr. Ike Ekweremadu, has opened discussion with top shots of the APC which may lead to him joining the party.   Ekweremadu, who represents Enugu West at the Senate, has been having running battle with chieftains of the PDP over his decision to contest the governorship of the state.

The governorship ambition of the four-time senator has generated so much controversy over zoning. While chieftains of PDP said the governorship position would go to Enugu East in line with subsisting zoning, Ekweremadu said there was nothing like that.
