Ndigbo Youths Organization (NYO) has warned the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to stop its plan to kick Senator Ike Ekweremadu out of his office as Deputy President of the Senate.
A statement by its Secretary General, Comrade Patrick Afuberah, said Ike Ekweremadu was duly elected as other key officers of the National Assembly, wondering why the APC leadership was seeking his ouster.
The group, which said its responsibility was to fighting for the interest and welfare of the Igbo race, said it had “watched with dismay and great disappointment the attacks and campaign of calumny against the Deputy Senate President”.
“The calls from some APC senators and leaders for the resignation of Ekweremadu as Deputy Senate President is unacceptable to us and in fact an insult to the Igbo race”.
“The fact that Senator Ike Ekweremadu was elected Deputy Senate President in a Senate that has majority of APC senators, speaks volumes of his leadership qualities and impeccable strength of character as a person.
“Consequently, we call on the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Solomon Arase, not to allow himself be drawn into the politics of the National Assembly leadership, as we shall resist any attempt to ridicule our leader”, the statement concluded.
