Following his Friday’s arrest and and eventual release by the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, former Governor of Akwa
Ibom State and Senate Minority Leader, Godswill Akpabio, has returned
to his Abuja residence, affirming that he has nothing to hide about his
term in office as the governor of Akwa Ibom State.

Akpabio who served two terms, as governor of the state between 2007
and 2015, was invited, yesterday, at about 5. 20pm to the Abuja
Headquarters of the EFCC, over a petition dated June 22, 2015 and
addressed to President Muhammadu Buhari and the EFCC.
The petitioner, Leo Ekpenyong alleged that Akpabio, fraudulently converted
N108.1 billion belonging to Akwa Ibom State during his tenure as
governor.

Akpabio, who honoured the anti-graft agency’s invitation, accompanied by
a few aides and his lawyer, Ricky Tarfa (SAN), said via his Twitter
handle, @SenAkpabio managed by his social media team, that he has
arrived home some hours after.
The tweets read: “His Excellency, Senator Akpabio is back to the house.
We want to reaffirm that he has nothing whatsoever to hide about his
term in office in Akwa Ibom.”

Earlier, @SenAkpabio had tweeted: “Senator Akpabio was never
arrested. He simply obliged an invitation to come and answer some
questions at the EFCC headquarters.

“Senator Akpabio has nothing to hide that’s why he walked into EFCC
himself this evening to answer questions about his tenure in Akwa Ibom.
“Those who are playing politics with the decision of Senator Akpabio to
honour the EFCC invitation must be acting a known script.
“Senator Akpabio was called from EFCC to come for explanations and
he drove there himself 50 minutes later. So, why all the news of arrest

Akpabio

Time will tell

I will expose you, if you dare talk again.

It's high time the Govt stops trying to politicize the EFCC. Amaechi and Fashola had been petitioned in the past but they weren't invited or arrested by the EFFC.
Now, am not saying that Akpabio shouldn't have been invited if he has any corruption case against him. What am saying is that there should be equity and fairness in the game. You cannot fight corruption by witch-hunting the opposition.
Well, i blame Jonathan. Sadly, he started this. The Nigerian Army and the DSS were used for political and selfish gain.

But again, the president has being preaching CHANGE, so. . .

Ok

I won't take EFCC seriously until they don't only "arrest" but prosecute and sentence those who are guilty of misappropriation of public funds.

Okay o
