Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu has scorned some People Democratic Party (PDP) chieftains who recently defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Ekweremadu described the defectors as feather weight politicians who have little or no electoral value in the PDP.
Speaking on the spate of defections that has hit the party especially in the South-east, at the opening of the National Executive Committee (NEC) and expanded caucus of the PDP in Abuja on Thursday, Ekweremadu said the action of the politicians is not surprising.
The deputy senate president said due to the on-going APC membership registration in the zone, some politicians are taking the advantage of it to further their business interests.
“My response is that my brothers and sisters from the South-east who are defecting know the electoral value of each and every one of us.
“We should allow them get the contract and employment they are looking for. At the appropriate time, we will know who is who in the South-east.
“There is nothing to worry about, we are completely in control,” he said.
