The lawmaker, who spoke during a thanksgiving service to mark his 60th birthday at the Cathedral Church of the Good Shepherded (Anglican Communion) in Enugu, said he was abducted right at the Enugu metropolis in the year 2000 and was driven to Anambra State.
He, however, said despite all his ordeals, God’s faithfulness had kept him going.
Ekweremadu said that as a young man, he beseeched God to lift him so he would be able to lift his people and the people of Enugu State.
