The Senate Minority Whip and Senator representing Enugu West Senatorial District, Osita Ngwu, has conveyed his predecessor and former Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, gratitude to Nigerians for their prayers and overwhelming support and solidarity he has received from Nigerians from all walks of life since his recent ordeal in the United Kingdom.
Senator Ngwu said Ekweremadu’s gratitude was expressed during their conversation when he recently visited him, adding that the former Deputy Senate President acknowledged God’s mercy and kindness in his life, accepted his current situation with faith as well as grace, and did not express any sentiment suggesting that he had been forgotten by Nigerians.
The Enugu West lawmaker, who stated this in a statement in Abuja, condemned what he described as unfounded accusations against Ekweremadu in a news report being circulated by some uninformed individuals.
Senator Ngwu expressed dismay at why some individuals would be hell-bent on misleading the unsuspecting public.
The lawmaker noted that were it not for purposes of protecting the public who maybe deceived by the fake news, he would never be bothered about issuing a rebuttal.
He maintained that the report about Ekweremadu accusing Nigerians of abandoning him was false and did not know what the architects of such falsehood want to achieve against the people of Enugu West District, which the former deputy president served diligently
