The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Thursday revealed more reasons behind last Saturday’s attack on former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu in Nuremberg, Germany.
The group accused Ekweremadu of being a self-centered politician, who engaged in the politics of personal survival.
In a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, IPOB alleged that Ekweremadu had not promoted any legislative advocacy for the South-East geopolitical zone as the longest serving senator.
The group said although it had not expected the lawmaker to change Nigeria, he refused for force out anger and frustration in the Senate.
The statement reads: “This distinguished Senator is a typical example of the new breed Igbo politician, permanently engaged in the politics of personal survival, forty years after the Biafra genocide.
“Ike Ekweremadu, the distinguished senator representing Enugu state is the longest serving Igbo denator. He has survived in the murky waters of Nigerian politics by playing to the rules of the politics of survival.
