Attack On Ekweremadu Was Misdirected Aggression – U.S.A. Igwesi

A former member of the House of Representatives Chief U.S.A Igwesi has condemned the attack on the former deputy senate President, Ike Ekweremadu by some Igbo Youths in Germany describing it as a clear case of misdirected aggression.

Chief Igwesi in a chat with newsmen observed that the former Deputy Senate President in his previous political outbursts had stood firmly behind any issue that will advance the cause of Igbo peoples insisting that a man who has been in the forefront of re-engineering the course of Igbo people in recent time should not be rewarded with such unruly and condemnable attack.

He however called for caution in approaching the matter and appealed to Igbo both at home and in diaspora to always navigate the part of honour, dignity and resourcefulness while inter facing with the rest of the world, arguing that those attributes and values were the hallmark of an average Igbo man.

The former leader of Enugu State House of Assembly assured the Igbos that the leaders of South East geo-political zone will continue to engage the Nigerian nation on how best to answer the numerous Igbo questions without the use of violence and seperative utterances, observing that attacking Igbo leaders within and outside Nigeria by Igbos themselves will amount to voyage of self-destruction and double tragedy.

The lawmakers challenged them to be their brother’s keeper and work towards restoring the dignity and political progress of the people of South East which he said was elusive.

He observed that whatever was the grouse of those people should be properly channeled to the appropriate authority who have the capacity to deal with them and not to turn back and stab themselves, and called on the Federal Government to take positive steps towards ameliorating the spate of crimes and banditry in the South East geo-political zone which he said was assuming a worrisome and dangerous proportion.

He however observed that there is a crack in the foundation of Nigeria which according to him has created a serious imbalance against the Igbo and urged the Federal Government to take urgent steps to correct the said imbalance through restructuring of the country.
