Forgery Suit: APC Asks Ekweremadu To Retract Letter To
UN, EU
The All Progressives Congress (APC) on Sunday asked
Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, to retract his
letter to the international community in connection
with his ongoing forgery trial alongside Senate
President, Bukola Saraki, and two others.
The party insisted that by taking what should be an
internal affair of the country to the outside world, the
lawmaker had tarnished the image of Nigeria and by
extension, the President.
Its Vice Chairman in Enugu State, Chief Anike Nwoga
who spoke at a rally held by party members in Awgu
town, Enugu State insisted that the letter was out of
place.
The APC rally where the forgery trial of the senate
leaders reared its ugly head again, was held shortly after
a procession of pro-Ekweremadu group under the aegis
of Enugu West Stakeholders led by Igwe Professor Sam
Ukpabi.
Notable among other top APC chieftains at the rally
were the Deputy State Chairman, Comrade A.C. Ude,
Woman Leader, Lolo Queen Nwankwo, Chief Flavour
Eze who represented the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Geoffrey Onyeama, Special Assistant to the President on
Justice Reform, Barrister Julie Ibekaku, Director General,
Voice of Nigeria, Mr. Osita Okechukwu and Barrister
Sharon Ikeazor.
Addressing the rally, Nwoga urged Senator Ekweremadu
to desist from insulting the President.
According to him, Ekweremadu should retract the
“desperate” letter he wrote to the international
community because it is 360 degrees at variance with
the oath of office he did solemnly swore, to be faithful
and bear true allegiance to the Federal Republic of
Nigeria and always act in the interest of the sovereignty,
integrity, solidarity, well being and prosperity of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“By this unwarranted letter, he has desecrated the
Constitution, tarnished the image of Nigeria and by
extension our dear president. As a senior lawyer, we
had expected him to maintain his earlier statement that
he has faith in Almighty God and the Nigerian courts,”
the APC chieftain said.
