| Gov. Akpabio |
By Nse Peter
Some lawmakers in the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly who
have refused to support a certain governorship aspirant from Eket Senatorial
District have been starved of funds by the executive arm of government led by
Governor Godswill Akpabio in the state, the Sensor
newspaper has reported.
In a recent news report titled, ‘Cash Crunch Hits AK
Lawmaker’ the paper reports that “political alignment and re-alignment either
in favour or against the zoning of the governorship seat in 2015” is adversely
affecting some members of the State House of Assembly, and went ahead to quote
an unnamed member of the House as saying that funds were being blocked from
reaching members who are not in support of a particular aspirant from Eket
Senatorial District.
The ‘particular aspirant from Eket Senatorial District’ is
apparently the current Secretary to the Akwa Ibom State Government, Mr. Udom
Emmanuel who has been hand-picked by Governor Akpabio against the popular opinion
of the Akwa Ibom people.
