The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Enugu state has asked Ekweremadu to retract his letter written to the international community over his ongoing forgery trial alongside Senate President, Bukola Saraki, and two others.
Speaking at the weekend, Chief Anike Nwoga, the Enugu APC vice chairman said Ekweremadu had desecrated the Constitution, tarnished the image of Nigeria and by extension, President Muhammadu Buhari by that letter.
He spoke at a rally held by members of the APC in Awgu town, Enugu state which was attended by were the deputy state chairman, Comrade A.C. Ude; women 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, Osita Okechukwu and Barrister Sharon Ikeazor.
Nwoga warned Ekweremadu to desist from insulting the president. He noted that Buhari had no hand in Ekweremadu’s travails.
“Where is President Buhari in this matter? How is democracy being threatened? Why is he panicky, without exhausting the court process? Senator Hilary Clinton, presumptive presidential candidate of the Democratic Party in the United States, is being tried over her email issue, has she written to United Nations or Nigeria?” he asked.
Ekweremadu and Senate President Bukola Saraki are being tried for alleged forgery of the rules of the eighth Senate.
