Breaking News! Gov. Akpabio On The Run. by itocoonlin(m): 8:41am On Jun 22, 2011 |
More Breaking News!!! Is Godswill Akpabio on the Run 2011.06.21 23:31:09 More Breaking News!!! Is Godswill Akpabio on the Run? Few days after the April 26, 2011 gubernatorial election, the then Governor Godswill Akpabio dissolved his Cabinet and imposed himself in the Hilltop Mansion claiming and pretending to be the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, when in fact he did not win the election to claim the mandate of the people. Many observers have also wondered why Godswill Akpabio has refused to appoint new Commissioners into positions. Other than the appointment of one of his cronies---Mr. Umana Okon Umana---as the Secretary to the Government, no further appointment has been made, although many of his former Commissioners, such as Aniekan Umanah---the former Information Commissioner---continue to make official statements, as if they are still representing Akpabio in official capacities. Speculations abound as to why Akpabio has failed or has refused to appoint new Cabinet. One strongly held speculation is that the man is not sure of continuing as the next Chief Executive Officer of the State. There are several reasons why the speculation is gaining momentum. Those who are very knowledgeable with the politics of Akwa Ibom State maintain that the pending court case, which involves Mr. Frank Okon and Akpabio, is coming up soon and the ruling may not be in his favor. It may be recalled that Frank Okon has a case pending in court, in which Akpabio is accused of illegally entering and contesting the last gubernatorial election. The lawsuit before a judge in an Abuja court claims that Akpabio failed to obtain clearance necessary and required by law to contest in the Primary Election. However, Akpabio and all his supporters have maintained that he was “ cleared” by all responsible agencies to contest the election, as indicated by a letter, which Akpabio claimed came from PDP and signed by the former Chairman of PDP, Chief Nwodo. When the court in Abuja asked PDP to produce a copy of the letter by Nwodo, the Party said it does not have such a letter in its file. And Godswill Akpabio has repeatedly been issued a court order to produce the document, but he has also repeatedly failed to honor the court order, a clear indication that whatever documents Akpabio claimed was signed by Chief Nwodo must have been fake or non-existent papers of clearance. Other sources have confirmed that Chief Nwodo has sworn and submitted an affidavit to the court, in which he stated that he (Nwodo) never signed or issued such a clearance letter to Akpabio. And this is where an ice water has instantly become boiling water, or as it is popularly known in America, "now you see; now you don't." Tomorrow (June 22, 2011), Frank Okon's case against Akpabio will be heard in Abuja---probably for the last time. Then on June 27, 2011, another case against Akpabio (by the same Frank Okon) is also coming up. Sources say Akpabio has been secretly informed through his lawyers that the prognosis are not good for him; the court may agree with Mr. Frank Okon that he (Akpabio) entered and contested the election without proper clearance from all the appropriate agencies, including the PDP party. The news is very unsettling for Godswill Akpabio and those who know him have suggested that his personal physician, Dr. Essien, should put him on a suicide watch. And Akpabio's recent behaviors are not making things easier for him either. Confirmed sources say Akpabio has submitted his application to Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly for a 30-day Annual Leave and that the House of Assembly has approved the Leave. In his application, Akpabio stated that he has relinquished the day-to- day- running of the Government to his Deputy, Chief Nsima Ekere. And that worries many analyst enough to speculate that such behavior may be a clear indication that Akpabio has completed plans to escape the country after being informed that he may be removed from office. According to one of the analysts, "How could the Chief Executive of a State go on a 30 day annual leave without setting things in place? How can he go on leave without appointing Commissioners and Heads of other State Agencies? On top of that, he has just won the election and civil servants have not been paid. I find it difficult to believe that the man is going on leave. I think he is running away in order to avoid the embarrassment of being removed from the office. He may also be running to avoid arrest by the EFCC people, especially after he has read about what the agency is doing to Bankole, the former Speaker of the Federal House of Assembly. I am not sure if he is indeed running away. But, if he is, where is he going to hide? The world is becoming smaller and smaller, where is he going to hide? If anyone could hide, James Ibori could have been in hiding forever. But where is he now?” Now, the question; is it true that Godswill Akpabio, the former corrupt and killer Governor of Akwa Ibom State, is ready to escape Nigeria into hiding?
