The political face off\u00a0 brewing in Akwa Ibom state between Governor\u00a0 Godswill Akpabio and the former Secretary to the\u00a0 State Government,\u00a0 Mr Umana Umana\u00a0 has assumed a new\u00a0\u00a0 dimension as a group ” Akwa Ibom Stakeholders has accused\u00a0\u00a0 Governor Akpabio\u00a0 of an attempt\u00a0 to destroy the credibility and pedigree of ” a loyal party man and a hardworking citizen of the state ”<\/p>\n
The group which met in Uyo yesterday said\u00a0 that “We are taken aback by\u00a0 the mumbo – jubo political tactics being played out by our Governor in the case involving him and Mr Umana Umana , his erstwhile able Secretary to the State Government\u00a0 and a competent servant of the state .<\/p>\n
The President of the group , Mr Ekenam Udo who had a chat with alarinkagbaye\u00a0 said that ” We are not happy with Governor Akpabio\u00a0 with the way and manner with which he has been dealing with\u00a0 Umana\u00a0 just because he suspected him of having or entertaining ambition of contesting for the governor of the state ”
\nThe group called the attention of the Governor ” Governor Akpabio who has a modicum of achievements to show is rather proving to be a failure in handling the\u00a0 Umana issue\u00a0 because he has been reacting to mere rumour of his\u00a0 so called\u00a0 gubernatorial ambition.”<\/p>\n
The group pointed out that ” We are also baffled by the extent to which Governor Akpabio is pushing this matter to by deliberately spreading bad propaganda and falsehood against the person and credibility of\u00a0 Umana”<\/p>\n
The group alleged that Governor Akpabio sponsored a news item\u00a0 in some newspapers\u00a0 which alleged that Umana Umana rejected the NNDC job\u00a0 offer, maintaining that it\u00a0 was totally untrue , unfounded and a calculated attempt\u00a0 to paint Umana in bad light<\/p>\n
The Akwa Ibom stakeholders said that ” We are ready to do all things humanly possible to show the world the true\u00a0 state of things in Akwa Ibom concerning\u00a0 our Governor and a very diligent , good natured and responsible servant of the State , Umana Umana who is being vilified and oppressed by the Governor on trump up cases and mere political rumour brewed by the Governor and his agents “<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
