The All Progressives Congress has condemned the attack on the former Deputy Senate President and serving Senator, Ike Ekweremadu, by members of the Indigenous People of Biafra on Saturday in Nuremberg, Germany.
The All Progressives Congress in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Lanre Issa-Onilu, said those involved in the despicable actions and the organisation they represented were unworthy in character.
“No Nigerian should be assaulted the way Senator Ekweremadu was”.
It is an indecent action and it is below the standard of behaviour expected of our citizens whether in Nigeria or abroad.
The All Progressives Congress blamed the opposition Peoples Democratic Party for supporting IPOB in the past when it was promoting division in the country.
“The Peoples Democratic Party 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 Peoples Democratic Party and its other shortsighted co-travellers who were the main cheerleaders of IPOB owe this country an apology.
“We all have a responsibility to collectively rise against evil wherever we find it and in whatever way it appears. We hope lessons have been learnt from this unfortunate incident.”
