Lately the governor of Akwa Ibom state has not been in the good books of most Nigerians owing to his recent spendthrifts. This i'm sure will attract criticism from every corner. In developed countries where the legal system is in full throttle, his statements carry enough weight to call for impeachment. He was asked why he had not impacted the lives of the people of the two communities(part of Ikot Ekpene senatorial district) especially in the area of roads, schools and other public infrastructure. Akpabio said he struck out the name of the person who won the PDP primary election and replaced it with Aloysius Etuk.
This was what he said. “The people of Ikono and Ini (Local Government Areas) from 1960 have never produced a Senator.
I used my own hand to strike out the name of the person who has won before, and I said it is important for me to give that region a Senator in 2007, and I produced Senator Aloysius Etuk for you; that’s where he comes from.”
Etuk, who was also in attendance at the town hall meeting, confirmed the claim when Akpabio asked him to stand up and “take a bow".
