Akure monarch appeals to Gov Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State over seized hotel
By Yemi Akintomide Reporter, Akure

Deji of Akure, Oba Oluwadare Adesina, has called for the support of other traditional rulers in the South West region in appealing to the Akwa Ibom State governor, Godswill Akpabio, to honour his pledge over the continuing stagnation of an Akure indigene's investment in Akwa Ibom.








The monarch also frowned at the lukewarm attitude of Akpabio in fulfilling his promise to pay up compensation to the owner of the 10th Anniversary Hotel Complex in Uyo, the state capital, stressing that the community where the property is situated is agitating for the return of its land.

The traditional ruler had made similar appeal to the governor on the revocation of the certificate of occupancy (C of O) of the said property belonging to Jojein Ventures Limited by Akwa Ibom.

However, the Deji told Sunday Independent in Akure on Saturday, that he's calling on other Yoruba traditional rulers to lend their voices to the injustice done to a prominent son of the land who is doing legitimate business in another part of the country.

He recalled the historical support of progressive Akwa Ibom people to the late sage, Obafemi Awolowo, and the Yoruba's support towards the creation of Akwa Ibom State, hoping that the good and brotherly relationship continues.

"Governor Akpabio as a gentleman and man of his words should endeavour to provide succour to a wronged person not minding his ethnic or religion background.

Instead of these people to go and work hard for their own, they are busy pouncing on peoples investments. Is it a crime to invest in their land?

Was this not the same Deji that gave an ultimatum to a certain cement dealer( non indegens) in Akure, some months back, to Increase the price of Cement ; so that his price will not be lower

Tell him to release Deji's property so as to reduce the number of aspersions coming his way.

The person who posted this topic is just a an ethnic bigot who wants to whip ethnic sentiments around, why are u crying more than the bereaved, get your facts correct concerning this matter, and not whine up here with a newspaper report by one of your tribalist repoter, this topic should be trashed in the bin. How dare you come here to insult the Governor with this trash you write here . The Governor had promised the man his compensation money long time ago, but for the hotel, he can't get it back and the man accepted it. but here u are with a very tribalistic topic "Akwa Ibomites Usurp Yoruba Investment in their Land". This will not work my dear. Akwa Ibom is home to many ethnic groups including yorubas and they have never complained about their properties being taken over by anybody, so why are you whiping up this ethnic sentiments. IDIOT!!!!
