Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu has taken the alleged forgery case brought against him, the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, and two others outside the shores of Nigeria.
In a letter to the United Nations (UN), United States Congress,
European Union (EU), and other international organisations, titled: “Re:
Trumped Up Charges Against the Presiding Officers of the 8th Senate:
Nigerian Democracy is in Grave Danger,” Ekweremadu said that there is a
clear attempt to silence him as the leader and highest ranking member of
the opposition party – People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
He said that the federal government “politically generated” the names
for trial, noting that there was no where in the police report where
any of their names were mentioned.
