Ekweremadu Attack: PDP were the main cheerleaders of IPOB and they owe this country an apology - APC

The APC while condemning the shameful assault on former Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu in Nuremberg, Germany says the opposition party, PDP owes the country an apology for its support to IPOB in the past.

In a statement signed by APC's national publicity secretary Lanre Issa-Onilu, the APC said, 'It is clear that PDP and its other shortsighted 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'.

See the full statement below....

 

The All Progressives Congress (APC) strongly condemns the attack on Senator Ike Ekweremadu, immediate past Senate President and serving Senator by members of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Saturday in Nuremberg, Germany.

Those involved in the despicable actions and the organisation they represent 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. 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.

Senate Ike Ekweremadu, shared evidence of his letter to President Muhammadu Buhari,  urging him to go the way of dialogue and call off the ongoing Operation Python Dance 2 yrs ago. 

Happy Sunday, my people. I must say a big thank you for the outpour of love and solidarity in the face of the unprovoked attack on my person by members of the IPOB in Germany yesterday.

Meanwhile, I read IPOB statement claiming that they attacked me for instigating Operation Python Dance in the South EAST. Ironically, I engaged the presidency and concerned security agencies to try to prevent it.

Below is a September 2017 Vanguard report on my letter to His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari entitled "RISING TENSION IN THE SOUTH EAST: APPEAL TO CALL OFF OPERATION EGWU EKE". This is just to put history straight for posterity sake.

This is just for the sake of clarification. As I said, I don't hold anything to heart against them.
