Attack On Ekweremadu: We All Have A Responsibility To Rise Against Evil – APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned the attack on Senator Ike Ekweremadu by members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

In a statement on Sunday by its National Publicity Secretary, Lanre Issa-Onilu, the party described the attack on the immediate past Deputy Senate President and serving lawmaker as an assault on decency.

The statement said, “We all have a responsibility to collectively rise against evil wherever we find it and in whatever guise, it appears. We hope lessons have been learnt from this unfortunate incident.”

“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 added.


The party, however, said it was regrettable that some of the people and organisations who allegedly offered the group open support in the past were raising their voices.

It also accused the main opposition party in the country of playing politics with an issue needed the support of all stakeholders to resolve.

“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,” the APC alleged in the statement.

It added, “It is clear that PDP and its other short-sighted co-travellers 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.”

“Are we surprised by the PDP’s hypocritical reaction to the unfortunate attack on Senator Ekweremadu? No! The PDP and their leaders have acted true to type.

“This is what happens when politicians become myopic and allow narrow sentiments becloud their sense of judgement,” the ruling party claimed.

These are the same politicians that kept quiet when security forces attack citizen for protesting against bad governance. It is now clear that the political class are against the wish of the majority of its citizen who are suffering.

Their maintaining a common front here is quite understandable and expected....


As the saying goes:


"He who kills by the sword, won't let you bring a machete to his dance"


I pray this beating up of politicians abroad doesn't become a custom, it'll be so bad!





If you are 18 or less, Don't SEE THIS!!!

Let them do whats right.

Responsibility of what actually
Is it for the betterment of the country or what?

First time in a while.....

In as much as we stand with ONE NIGERIA,

But shey, Fear don dey catch some thieves and looters among them in advance already?!

First time we are hearing them coming together, despite all the trillions of naira, these sets of bastard prostitutes called politicians have stolen and looted from our National treasury.
They never came together on how to return our stolen funds but are now coming together on how to prevent them being beaten to stupor!
Barawos!

The guilty are afraid!

Id4Jesus:
The thieves are united in purpose.
But we are divided along religious and ethnic lines

You've said it all id4Jesus.
You summarized our post in one sentence.
Food for thought!

Lol, why won't they condemn it? When they know it might be their turn tomorrow

They only unite when issues that affect them directly arise...



Nobody will react to this issue below, because it's not their business

Meanwhile......

Exactly

Serves them right. If our politicians can be treated like this abroad, Nigeria for don better. Those guys in Germany did what Nigerians ought to have done for long.

Hahaha ... Can you see how your leaders unite when they are the target , this just proves they all friends and laugh when thier followers fight

PresidentAtiku:
Exactly

Naso

Them don realise say people don dey wake up.......

Why won't the enemies of the people unite. They are already getting scared. Time to tighten the noose and increase pressure on them. There need to similar incidents like shelling them with tomatoes and eggs, throwing them in waste dumps as done in Ukraine for corrupt politicians, and embarrassing children in foreign institutions. The latter will have more positive effect.
