The removal of the State Secretary to the Government (SSG) of Akwa Ibom State, Umana Okon Umana, by Governor Godswill Akpabio has continued to generate ripples in the state. Umana was kicked out of office on July 29. He was on an official duty in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) when security operatives stormed his office and ordered the workers to vacate the premises before sealing it off.

Umana and Akpabio have a long history of friendship dating back to when former Governor Victor Attah was in the saddle. Both men served in the Attah Administration. Umana was the Commissioner for Finance. Akpabio was commissioner in three ministries – Petroleum Resources, Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, and Lands and Housing.
