The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has owned up the attack on the former Deputy Senate President, Chief Ike Ekweremadu earlier today in Germany.
The lawmaker was later whisked away in a car, after several attempts to stop him from escaping.
In the video, one of the attackers was heard saying “imagine, people are dying on a daily basis, people are wailing on a daily basis and we are here enjoying.”
IPOB spoke in a statement titled: “Operation Python Dance instigator Ike Ekweremadu disgraced by IPOB Nuremberg Family”, signed by its media and publicity secretary, Mr. Emma Powerful.
It read:
Today being the 17th day of August 2019 the Nuremberg IPOB family in Germany in keeping with the long standing directive from our leader to hound all instigators of Operation Python Dance, is glad to report that Ike Ekweremadu was confronted and duly hounded out of a so-called New Yam Festival event in Germany.
Despite repeated warnings to the organisers of these jamborees that Enugu, Ebonyi and other parts of Biafraland is under siege by Fulani caliphate and their collaborators within, they went ahead to invite a known traitor, co-conspirator and one of those that worked with Igbo governors to proscribe and tag IPOB a terror organisation while they never raised any voice against murderous Fulani herdsmen.
This should serve as a warning to Nnia Nwodo, Dave Umahi, Okezie Ikpeazu, Willie Obiano and co that any day we find them in a public event abroad, they will be humiliated. IPOB is strategically located in over 100 countries around the world. Anywhere we find them, they will be dealt with.
Although I am not supporting the beating of Mr. Ike Ekweremadu, I thank God that people are beginning to wake up as democracy belongs to the people and not to the few that has hijacked the country for their selfish purpose.
I think the change we voted for in the first term of Mr President has come to play out in his second term and the politicians should know that we are tired of their lies and arrogance. They should do what we voted them in to do or wait for jungle justice to them and their family members because that is the only way they will listen and amend their ways (without which they will think that we are joking and thousands of people are dying on the streets every day).
Our beautiful and great country (Nigeria) must change by dialogue (if the politician wants it) or by force because we are the giant of Africa (heart beat of Africa), when we are responsive to situations that will make our nation a better place other African countries will be a better place too because we are the nation that should take the light to them; without the heart the rest of the body will die.
God bless Nigeria
God bless Africa
God bless the world
A man of the people, the man after our heart. Senator ike Ekweremadu has been a source of joy to many through his quality representation and humanitarian services organised through his foundation.
