The Enugu state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has slammed the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu for the united nation about his forgery case.
The party also called on Ekweremadu not to politicise the allegations of forgery levelled against him and the Senate President, Bukola Saraki.
The
Deputy Senate President had alleged that there was an attempt to
silence him as the leader and highest ranking member of the opposition
in the country, all in the name of prosecuting an alleged forgery case.
According to the Enugu APC Chairman, Ben Nwoye, “After all, how many indicted citizens of foreign nations have ever written to Nigerian government to intervene in their matter.
“Calling
on UN to intervene on the forgery amounts to seeding our sovereignty to
foreign nations. The CIA director and many US senators and government
officials were over the years indicted and convicted, did they write to
Nigeria?
“Some of the officials pleaded
guilty and resigned and never wrote to any foreign country, including
Nigeria. Those involved should face trial and stop invoking tribal,
religious and ethnic sentiments.”
“We
want to advise them to stop heating up the polity. After all, there are
millions of Nigerians who are facing different trials like rape,
corruption, among others, have they written the international community
for interventions? We don’t want a situation where the law of the land
would be for a selected few," he added.
Nwoye also said Ekweremadu’s action was aimed at embarrassing the APC government.
