Chairman, National Assembly New Media Forum, an umbrella body for online journalists in the National Assembly, Comrade Yemi Itodo, has joined other Nigerians to condemn the attack on former Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, by some members of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Saturday in Germany.

According to Comrade Itodo, Senator Ike Ekweremadu is not just a lawmaker, but one of the few capable hands in the leadership of the National Assembly in the last two decades of our democracy.

“He is an asset to the legislative arm of government and the nation at large who is well revered both by Nigerians and even foreigners,” Itodo said.

“Ekweremadu’s wealth of experience and commitment as Deputy President of the Senate for many terms is a great contributor to the sociopolitical developments of this great country and does not deserve the treatment meted to him by his kinsmen,” Itodo further said.
