The House of Representatives has moved to enact a law that would protect Nigerian politicians whenever they travel abroad, Igbere TV reports.

This comes on the heels of the attack on Senator Ike Ekweremadu in Germany, by members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.

Igbere TV had reported that the immediate past Deputy Senate President was petted with eggs by aggrieved members of IPOB at an event in Nuremberg, on Saturday.

In a statement made available to Igbere on Sunday, Chairman, House Committee on Foreign Affairs, Hon. Yusuf Buba Yakub, said the attack on Ekweremadu was rather unfortunate.

The lawmaker said that there were other civilized ways within a democratic setting to show grievances by any individual or group.

He said the House upon resumption from recess in September would thoroughly investigate the case, while calling on the Nigerian Ambassador to Germany, Yusuf Tugger to probe the attack and bring the perpetrators to book.

Full Statement,

“I, like most concerned Nigerians and others across the globe, have followed with utmost concern and worry about the treatment that was meted out on Sen. (Dr.) Ike Ekweremadu yesterday in far away Nuremberg, Germany, where he had, on the invitation of his people, gone to attend the Second Igbo Cultural Festival of Iri Ji in that part of Europe as a Distinguished Guest of Honour.

“Sen. Ekweremadu, an accomplished scholar in the legal profession and political leader of high standing in society, is one of our longest-serving Senators, who had also in the last twelve years until June this year held sway as the Deputy President of the Nigerian Senate. Before joining the Senate, he was also Secretary to the Enugu State Government and had before then served in various capacities in that State.

“Given the high personality profile and the public service record which Sen. Ekweremadu parades, it is unthinkable that any individual or group anywhere in the world, let alone his very own people in the Diaspora, who ought to know better, should contemplate and carry out the despicable public act of shame that was brought upon a well-respected national leader of Sen. Ekweremadu’s stature before the glare of the entire global community in Germany.

“I, therefore, in very strong terms, condemn in its entirety the action of the group of Igbo people, alleged to be members of the outlawed IPOB, that had attacked Sen.Ike Ekweremadu in Nuremberg, Germany on Saturday, August 17. I also wish to join other Nigerians and leaders to call on the Nigerian Ambassador to Germany, H/E Amb.Yusuf Maitama Tugger to make good his promise to investigate and bring to book everyone who was part of that dastardly assault on a serving national leader.

“On my part, I promise to lead the House Committee on Foreign Affairs which I currently chair, and, indeed, other Members of the House, who have since yesterday continued to call in to express their indignation against and condemnation of the act, to move a Motion on the floor of the House and to call for broader investigations on the matter with a view to decisively dealing with all those involved and seeking protection for the politically-exposed persons on foreign trips and assignments in foreign jurisdictions. Sanwo-Olu to inaugurate cabinet this week

“While conceding that it is the right of any group or individual to protest against a perceived wrong done to them in every democratic set-up, like ours, but it goes without saying that there is a limit to the extent any protest can go. It ceases to be a protest, for instance, when those involved in such a protest begin to make attempts on life or endanger the rights of others to peaceful and lawful assembly as we saw in the case at Nuremberg, Germany. As law-abiding people, we must have recourse to civility and proper ways of doing things at all times.”

Clowns have no jurisdiction. They can't destroy the country and go and enjoy their loots abroad.

Foreign governments won't waste any of their resources protecting these fantastically corrupt clowns. And if any government official or member of their entourage touches any of the protestors in UK,USA,South Africa,Canada,Switzerland or Dubai where they go to enjoy their loot they will be charged.

I don't subscribe to them being physically harmed,but they should be shamed and disgraced any time they travel abroad for turning for turning the country to a fantastically corrupt shithole. Let the host countries know these are the people responsible for the destruction of the country and making their citizens risk their lives through the Sahara Desert and Mediterrean sea to escape the hell they created.

What are you people afraid of if you had done the right thing

Another ways of siphoning our yams

I like what he said there is rule of law in Germany. If Ekweremadu has a problem with any of them he should take them to court.

Abroad you can run into a Minister or Senator on the train or walking in the street. This clowns don't know Nigerians are beginning to wake up from years of brainswashing and are beginning to hold their leaders to account.

Prompt reaction to the beating of Like Ekweremadu shows that the political class are not only selfish, wicked and have little or no concern for the electorates. There are many pressing National issues that yearns for urgent attention but how many of them speak up. An innocent person fears no accusation while are they suddenly afraid.

See how fast they act when it comes to their personal interest. You can see that if they wanted to tranform Nigeria within 5 years they can do it, but their love of looting and collecting bribes will prevent them from ever moving the country forward.

The saddest part about this post is that these idiotic politicians are not even thinking about doing things right. They are talking about having more security attached to them whenever they travel abroad. Just imagine.

This is the problem with this country. Rather than address the clear issues affecting the people that have festered for so long, they are promptly seeking more protection and security while on so-called assignments to foreign jurisdictions. They still go ahead to call it 'perceived' wrongs/problems like they aren't actually real! This crop of politicians need fast-acting poison and gunshots to their dirty, evil heads to finish them off so we can make some headway.

Hope u have seen why the political elites will not allow us to be united.... Now nobody knows if ekweremadu is PDP or APC??
