This latest attack raises our fears that certain forces, who have been hostile to Senator Ekweremadu’s political standing, are still bent on silencing him at all cost. The PDP draws the attention of Nigerians to the series of uninvestigated security threats around the person of Senator Ekweremadu.

Instead, the Senator has been a subj
