Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu has written to the United
Nations (UN), European Union (EU) and governments of the United States
and United Kingdom, claiming that the government of President Buhari is
attempting to truncate Nigeria’s democracy.
In the two-paged letter, titled
“Re: Trumped up Charges Against the Presiding Officers of the Eighth
Senate: Nigerian Democracy is in Grave Danger”, Ekweremadu insisted that
Buhari’s government wants to silence him as the highest ranking
opposition leader in the country by prosecuting him for alleged forgery.
Ekweremadu also attached to his letter, copies of the court summons and other relevant documents relating to the charge. He urged the international community to go through the documents and determine if the trial was justifiable or one purely borne out of political vendetta.

He said neither his name nor that of Saraki featured in the petition by members of the Senate Unity Forum (SUF) or during the investigation of the petition by the Nigeria Police.
He alleged that he was denied fair hearing in the matter, adding that the police did not interact with him before he was charged to court.
But Nigeria police say they invited him for question but he refused to show up, thinking it was a joke.
