The All Progressives Congress Media Network in Akwa Ibom State, says the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, is not behind ex-Governor Udom Emmanuel’s invitation by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC).

The group, in a statement by its Director General, Iniobong John, in Uyo on Saturday, urged those linking Akpabio with ex-Governor Udom Emmanuel’s travails to leave the Senate president out of the matter, emphasising that he was too preoccupied with matters of national importance and, therefore, had no interest in such trivial matters.

John argued that the primary mandate of the EFCC is to investigate, and prosecute economic and financial crimes in the country, stating that reports regarding Mr. Emmanuel’s invitation cannot be attributed to a smear campaign orchestrated by Senator Akpabio or any other individual.

“The APC Media Network has been compelled to address the defamatory allegations made by the factional National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Debo Ologunagba, against the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio.

“We note that the factional national publicity secretary of the PDP, failed to deny the fact that the EFCC, indeed, invited former Governor Udom Emmanuel.

“Mr. Emmanuel himself has acknowledged honouring the EFCC’s invitation, albeit without clarifying the purpose behind it.

“We categorically assert that Senator Godswill Akpabio, the President of the Senate, has no business disseminating the news of the arrest/invitation of former Governor Udom Emmanuel.

“As the Senate President, he is focused on overseeing the operations of the National Assembly, and has no interest in engaging with trivial matters.

“It’s unfortunate that the factional national publicity secretary of the PDP could condescend to make baseless and malicious statements,” John said.

He requested to know if Akpabio was also behind the arrest, and prosecution of former governors, including Yahaya Bello and Ifeanyi Okowa by the EFCC.

“But we know that the press release by the factional national publicity secretary of the PDP was conceived, and sponsored by the PDP government in Akwa Ibom State.

“Some tribal bigots in the state have been propagating false propaganda that Senator Akpabio was behind the petition against ex-Governor Udom Emmanuel.

“We challenge the PDP’s factional national publicity secretary to deny the fact that Mr. Udom Emmanuel was actually invited/arrested by the EFCC, before accusing others of being behind the spreading of the news.

“We also ask if Senator Godswill Akpabio was the mastermind behind the arrest of former Governors Yahaya Bello and Ifeanyi Okowa, among others who have been investigated and prosecuted by the EFCC. This highlights the naivety, cluelessness and pettiness of the factional national publicity secretary of the PDP.

“The APC Media Network condemns the PDP’s shameless attempt to manipulate public opinion, and tarnish Senator Akpabio’s reputation. Their desperate efforts to discredit him will not distract from their glaring failures,” he added.
