The former Deputy Senate President was reportedly attacked by some members of Indigenous People of Biafra in Nuremberg, Germany on Saturday.News Agency of Nigeria had on Saturday reported that Enweremadu was physically attacked by the IPOB members who accused him of not partnering them.
They accused the senator of conspiracy in the events that led to the proscription of the group by the Federal Government in September 2017 through the Federal High Court Abuja.He said it smacked of utter ignorance of the prevailing situation at home with regard to what Enweremadu and other Igbo leaders were doing in the circumstance.“It is a brazen show of ingratitude to a man who has been at the fore front in the struggle for all that is good for the Igbo race,” he said.
“Obviously this is not how to repay a man, an outstanding leader of men, an unpretentious Igbo leader who has given his all even going as far as deploying his means to arrange for the bail of Nnamdi Kanu.“It is unfortunate. The perpetrators of the attack should know that as Igbos, we respect elders and reverence our leaders.
“Resorting to mob mentality and venting the spleen on our leaders rather creates a vacuum that will leave our people helpless and confused in the circumstance,” he said. He said that there are rules of engagement in any country where things go awry and that should be the way things should go at all times, rather than resorting to physical assault.He, however, appealed to Ekweremadu not to be discouraged in any way, but rather take it in its stride as the price often paid in leadership.
