Akwa Ibom First Lady, Mrs. Unoma Akpabio |
By Nse Peter
Governor Godswill Akpabio is secretly pushing for his wife,
Unoma, to become the deputy governor of Akwa Ibom State if the Peoples
Democratic Party candidate, Udom Emmanuel wins the forthcoming governorship
election in Akwa Ibom State, Global Concord
newspaper has reported.
Global Concord, in
its midweek edition, reported that the First Lady’s ambition of becoming a
deputy governor of Akwa Ibom State formed part of a secret pact that Godswill
Akpabio allegedly had with Mr. Udom Emmanuel, before the governor adopted
Emmanuel as his preferred aspirant within PDP. “In the agreement, six months
into the leadership of Udom Emmanuel, he shall remove Mr. Moses Ekpo as the
deputy governor, and give the position to his wife, Unoma,” wrote Global Concord which is an influential
and most widely read community newspaper in the State.
Udom Emmanuel must also allow Akpabio have unhindered access
to N5billion every month from the Akwa Ibom State treasury when Mr. Emmanuel
becomes the governor, the paper said in the report. The report went further to
reveal other influential members of the Akpabio’s family like Sir Emem Akpabio
and Prince Ukpong Akpabio who witnessed the pact between the governor and
Emmanuel are to be rewarded too with state funds and strategic positions in the
next government.
Akwa Ibom State used to receive as much as N27billion
monthly from the Federation Account in the past, before the crash in oil price.
The Global Concord
report confirms the exclusive report published by Think Akwa Ibom! some weeks
ago that the Akwa Ibom First Lady was mentioned as a possible running mate to
Udom Emmanuel, before Governor Akpabio, probably scared of public outrage,
declined to push ahead with the idea.

Udom Emmanuel’s running mate
Naso! No be only. Where do you get all these lies from? What joy do you derive in writing lies and tarnishing the image of good people. Can you allow the Akpabio's be? Tueh.
ReplyDeleteGoogled that silly newspaper company couldn't find anything.so,I guess its all made up. Akpabio is a made man already, that pact thing you are claiming he did doesn't quite add up and what the hell is wrong with a man giving full support to his wife politically. You are just hating and it is only hungry men that publish garbage news.
ReplyDeleteHmmm as long as Akpabio is still alive, think akwa ibom won't let him be.you just want to color him black. How propostrous and inhumane. It is one nonsense invinsible newspaper company that finds out about this? Well done...your trap wasn't mounted well douch face!
ReplyDeleteThink Akwa Ibom, you people would soon turn your name to think Akpabio. metechew! what sort of foolish lies are you peolpe publishing? does the name Unoma sound Akwa ibom like to you?, how in the bloody hell does she become eligible? haa na wha oh!!
ReplyDeleteI don't understand if some of you writers have a brain at all. how does any of what you have put down here make any sense? i mean think hard and long, use that thick skull of yours and tell me how any of this trash you just put up here is even possible. apparently we cant get quality information anymore, only paid junk

See this Alika writer, LWTMB!! where do these clowns get their stories from honestly?. That being said, it doesn't take a toddler to figure out the bogus crap you've written here. a lot of you writers want fame and want it fast. but unfortunately, you also forget that people only depend on sources they trust and not liars!!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, this report rings so false because no one I know has ever heard of this global concord whatever! If you people want to fabricate lies to tarnish the image of a good governor, you can do better than this. I'm sore disappointed in think akwaibom, I thought you people stood for the truth.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny that you people expect smart thinking people to believe that a highly treacherous pact like this can be made and it will be public knowledge? I can't spell for your readers who enjoy sensationalism and gossip but as for me, I call bullcrap on this article. Saying Gov. Akpabio gets 27B from FG every month can you compare that to the infrastructure he has put in place in that state? Well, you never have enemies of you're doing bad, so this proves hws been doing good.

ReplyDeleteHahaha, who do you think will believe this? Akpabio that we all know how selfless and transformative he is. This is a blantant lie from a blantant conspirant..
ReplyDeleteStory ! story!! story!!!. Once upon a time, time time. If you dont have something better to say, leave Akpabio and his family alone, please. A golden fish has no hidding place
ReplyDeleteI said it before that vanguard newspaper is an ApC arm so don't bother about what they write. Everyone knows that the owner of Concord newspaper is contesting for a position under apc why wll he not do what he is doing
