Senate Minority Leader Godswill Akpabio Desperately Moves To
Destroy Evidence Of Corruption In The Midst Fresh EFCC Petitions
BY SAHARA REPORTERS, NEW YORK
August 08, 2015
Immediate past two term governor of Akwa Ibom State and Minority
Leader of the Nigerian Senate, Sen. Godswill Akpabio, has taken
desperate measures to cover traces of corruption and misappropriation
of state funds during his tenure as the governor of Nigeria's highest
revenue receive state, Akwa Ibom from 2007 - 2015, several reliable
sources in Akwa Ibom State have told Sahara Reporters.
The sources revealed that as part of this scheme, Mr. Akpabio, a
notorious waster of public funds, has invaded government offices in
the state including the Akwa Ibom State Government Office, the Akwa
Ibom State House of Assembly and the Office of the State Accountant
General and carted away sensitive official government documents
which may give anti - graft agencies traces of how billions of naira
belonging to the state was stolen while Akpabio was the governor.
On Monday August 3, 2015 Mr. Akpabio in company of few reliable
allies, stormed the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly in a G - wagon
Mercedes Benz with another salon vehicle as a backup and ordered
the Speaker of the House, Hon. Aniekan Akpan, a first time member
who was imposed on the House despite the aspirations of two
returning members of the House for the same position amidst protests
and controversy and the Clerk of the House, Mrs. Mandu Umoren, to
surrender certain official and classified documents of the House to
him.
The duo who are loyalists of the former governor packed the
demanded documents and handed them over to Mr. Akpabio who
remained inside the vehicle throughout the operation. One of the
sources who witnessed the clandestine move told Sahara Reporters
that some members of the House were aggrieved over the
development.
Another source within the Akwa Ibom State Government revealed that
the former governor is rattled by a recent publication by Diamond Bank
Plc which shows that the state was owing the bank 5.8 billion naira
obtained during the tenure of Akpabio. The source hinted that the loan
was never approved by the State House of Assembly and that Mr.
Akpabio was determined to forge official documents of the House to
cover the infraction.
On the documents taken from the State Government Office and the
Office of the Accountant General, the source further hinted that beyond
the loan, that Mr. Akpabio is desperate to cover up for certain huge
expenditures and withdrawals which took place during his tenure as
governor including the ones contained in several petitions against Mr.
Akpabio to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) by
doctoring and forging government documents to give such
expenditures and withdrawals the stamp of legislative and executive
approvals.
Sahara Reporters had exclusively reported on June 23, 2015 how
questionable withdrawals were made by three officials within the Akwa
Ibom State Government. The trio of Godswill Akpabio, Mr. Etekamba
Umoren, and Mr. Udo Isobara all conspired and successfully ransacked
the Akwa Ibom State Government Accounts together.
The funds were fraudulently extracted on the basis of fictitious
expenditure requests made by Permanent Secretary, Etekamba Umoren,
which were authorized by the then Governor Godswill Akpabio,
according to a petition by Mr. Leo Ekpenyong, an Abuja based legal
practitioner.
The total sum of N40.1 billion of mostly N10m per withdrawal
fraudulently withdrawn as cash by the Offices of the Permanent
Secretary, Governor's Office and the Permanent Secretary, Special
Services Department in 2014 was never spent on any public projects.
The total amount of monies stolen by Godswill Akpabio in just one
year is equal to the annual budget of some States in Nigeria put
together, according to the petition.
Mr. Akpabio, according to several sources is determined to cover up
for these withdrawals and other cases of embezzlement of pub
