Organ Harvesting: My Family And I Are With You, Peter Obi Tells Ekweremadu
The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) Peter Obi has reacted to the arrest of Senator Ike Ekweremadu and his wife over an alleged organ harvesting.
According to Obi, he and his family are praying for the former Deputy Senate President and his family over travails.
Recall we earlier reported that Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice, were arrested by the UK Metropolitan police over links to organ harvesting.
They are being charged for allegedly conspiring to bring a child to the UK for organ harvesting.
Hours after the news broke, Obi took to his Twitter handle to show his support for the Enugu lawmaker.
“My family and I are with the Ekweremadu’s over their travail,” he tweeted on Friday morning.
“We join all men of goodwill in praying for the healing of their daughter and commit them into God’s hand for justice to be done.”
Obi stated this despite Ike Ekweremadu’s negative words concerning his presidential ambition.
Recall that a few days ago before his arrest, the former Deputy Senate president had stated that the South- East will not vote for the Presidential Candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi, in the 2023 elections.
In his words;
“I assure you that South East will vote for the People Democratic Party (PDP). I can guarantee that. No doubt Peter Obi is our son, but you need to be dynamic. You need to ask yourself, can peter win the presidential election? Can the East afford to throw away their votes? Can we afford to be sentimental in matters that concern our people, our children, and our future ? No”
“We do not intend to do a thing which we will regret in future. So, why we believe that Peter is ably qualified, we believe that the future of our people lies with PDP. So we need to make that decision as the leaders. I am going to sit with our people and explain to them.”
“Okowa, of course is one of us, so there is no difference between Okowa and Peter in terms of protecting the interest of the South. So we will go and give the people of the South East that opportunity.”
