Senator Ike Ekweremadu, on Monday, said he had since forgiven his attackers, accusing them of being drunk and under the influence of hard drugs, Igbere TV reports.

Igbere TV had reported that Ekweremadu was physically assaulted in Germany, on Saturday, by members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

The former Deputy Senate President was invited as a guest speaker at the 2nd Annual Igbo Cultural Festival in Nuremberg, when the assault took place.

In a statement made available to Igbere TV, Ekweremadu who arrived the country today from Germany, said he was unruffled by the attack on him, adding that he had since put the incident behind him.

He advised Nigerians and Igbo leaders to feel free to travel to any part of the world they wish, saying the attitude of his attackers did not represent the behaviour of Nigerians in diaspora.

Full Statement,

“I think they were just people, who were misdirected and misguided. I had the feeling they were under the influence of alcohol. They don’t represent the feelings of our people. There is nothing to worry about.

“The organisers, the Igbo in Germany, have written a letter apologising for what happened. Everybody is free to go anywhere because those ones don’t represent the behaviour of Nigerians abroad.

“For me, I have moved on. The government and authorities of Germany are free to do whatever they wish about it.

“On IPOB and the threats to attack more Igbo leaders, especially the governors of the South East, let me just say that the leaders he (Kanu) was mentioning were responsible for getting him out of jail in the first place.

“What we will do in this circumstance is to leave him to his conscience, the verdict of history, and possibly the repercussions of ingratitude. But I hope he won’t go to the extent of attacking any of the South East leaders anywhere.

“I have no regrets speaking out for justice for Ndigbo and helping to facilitate Kanu’s release. I believe in justice for all irrespective of tribe, religion or region.

“First of all, I am a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. My job is to speak out when there is injustice anywhere. We had problem in the North East. I have visited the North East. I visited the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps there. I donated money. I sent relief materials. We had problem in the South-South, I visited the creeks and saw the environmental challenges there for myself.

“I was one of the few people the late President Musa Yar’Adua consulted before he decided on the issue of amnesty. I was the person, who advised him that he needed to call a meeting of the Council of State. So, he had to invite the then Attorney General to discuss that issue with me and I advised them on the constitutional implications of amnesty.

“So, I have always spoken out on matters that concern Nigerians no matter where they come from. I believe in justice for all. It had nothing to do with IPOB.”

....u did that
U did this
Is that not what u are being paid millions of naira for
Politicians and falsehood are like doctors and patients

Perhaps it was Ekweremadu’s mumsi that was drunk, allowing a useless man impregnate her...


Like Okorocha, does Ekweremadu know who his father is?

“What we will do in this circumstance is to leave him to his conscience, the verdict of history, and possibly the repercussions of ingratitude. But I hope he won’t go to the extent of attacking any of the South East leaders anywhere.

The regrets of a terrorist sympathizer.

If only he had known the ingratitude reposed in the hunchback.

Legend has it that even the N100m paid by Sen. Abaribe for Kanu's bail, was raised by DSP Ekweremadu.

Lesson here is to never be a terrorist sympathizer like those who were sympathetic to boko haram, and those who now regret their support for the terrorist IPOB.

So it has come to this already?

Ekweremadu's genealogy is already being questioned?

What manner of chaos will consume Biafra led by IPOB terrorist?

Taliban Afghanistan will look like an ideal democracy when compared to the anarchy that IPOB will inflict on Biafra.

I will be watching the turmoil on my television.

what are u trying to say sir "that ipob members are drunkers

It's a lie.You are on the look out for them to fly into the shithole so that you will send your zombie security after them.It's a trap.

Of course you have not been to “Taliban Afghanistan”, and only know what you know courtesy of CNN that does not give 2 phucks about reporting the killings right in your kindred by real terrorist.... Places like Afghanistan and Iraq are worse today because of international bankers than ever before...

Perhaps you yourself do not know who your father is, but certainly whoever he is and whoever his fathers’ before him did not know that their descendants-including illegitimate ones, would answer Nigger (Nigeria/Nigger Area).

The political rogues will be dealt with one by one, while you complacent ones will continue to go to deceiving pastors, watch EPL and Big Brother 9ja JOKES, dance to semi illiterate Davido/Wizkid, spend millions on white people’s halls so your bridal train can dance like animals with so much energy, and continue to wear weaves that sponsor the lifestyles of Asians that hate you.....

But we, in Biafra we Stand....

whats your problem with the word nigger? do you see yourself as rejected israelite or what the word nigga,niger, has historical connection with nagar the snake symbol on the head of ancient egyptian if i could recall the documentary well.

If this happened in Nigeria, forgiving them would have been impossible.

Just say "I have no power to punish them from here."

Ekweremadu me brother, you know that you insulted yourself.
Answer me if PMB invites you to mosque will your dress in cele attire if he hate cele.

Just forgive yourself for your stupidity

I am sure.........Ekweremadu will stay away from eating yam for nw.

The Word Nigger means dumb and black, like your post, like the mindset of those in an Area of Niggers....claiming to have a green and white flag.

It also was and is still used to describe slaves, which frankly, you and over 180 million people are.

Unless you want to claim shythole....that is also an updated version of the Nigger Area

You may take Panadol if need be....or better, got to Germany

like seriously i know youll be dumb thats why i asked the question. you dont have to post unnecessary pictures to prove your dumb point people like you would believe every damn thing white men tell you to believe, your type would see ugly as black and good as white just the way you dont know that word has an egyptian origin actually

To ascertain if they were drunk or serious, try attending another function.

You are a good man but on the wrong side, if you are not with or for us then you can only be against us.

Alright they are drunker indeed. I pray you out of luck next time.

Some comments above are daft and irritating, thank God the senator and other leaders from the south east know what they are doing.
