The All Progressives Congress, APC, has condemned the attack on Senator Ike Ekweremadu, immediate past Deputy Senate President and serving Senator by members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Saturday in Nuremberg, Germany.
The party described those involved in the despicable actions and the organisation they represent as are unworthy in character.
“No Nigerian should be assaulted in the manner Senator Ekweremadu was. It is an indecent action and it is below the acceptable standard of behaviour expected of our citizens whether in Nigeria or abroad,” the [aryy said in a statement by Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, in a statement on Monday.
He added: “It is however regrettable that some of the people and organizations who had offered these irresponsible elements open support in the past are raising their voices now. It would be recalled that the main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its leaders chose to play politics over a matter that called for collective patriotic actions when IPOB raised a terror group in the South East. It is clear that PDP and its other short-sighted co-travelers who were the main cheerleaders of IPOB owe this country an apology. IPOB hid under regional identity to perpetrate criminality having recruited some misguided elements and miscreants.”
