Abaribe, who addressed newsmen in company of Ekweremadu and the Minority Leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio, condemned plans to implicate Ekweremadu by security agencies.
According to him, some persons in the Presidency are planning with security agencies to harass a‎nd intimidate Ekweremadu in order to put him in detention.
He said: “It is not limited to the Deputy Senate President alone, but all former governors in PDP, including dissenting voices in APC.
“We think this is a plan that all voices that condemn what is going on in the country are silenced.
“There is an assault on human rights and freedom of speech.
“This is a worrying trend in the country.
“Some people are using security agencies to harass the opposition.”
