PRESS  STATEMENT BY APC INTERGRITY GROUP ON THE ONGOING CAMPAIGN OF CALUMNY AGAINST THE REPUTATION OF SEN.JOHN . JAMES AKPAN-UDOEDEHE

Our attention has been drawn to a false media publication in the WEEKEND GUIDE NEWSPAPER of MAY 2,2015 a newshouse with no fixed address and several other local newspapers, that Sen.J. J Akpanudoedehe is BEGGING governor Godswill Akpabio for money and position of commisioner.

We wish to categorically state here, as one of his support group, that the claims is false and an insult to the distinguished senator and leader of the APC in Akwa Ibom state.

Ordinarily such cheap fraud and blackmail, could have been ignored but because it is designed to give credibility to a group of traitors with corrupt antecedent  and to deceive majority of APC grassroot supporters on why a weak candidature with fraudulent image was  planted in the APC to avert the will of  the people.

We will not hesitate to go against and persecute henceforth, any person/newspaper who engage in a campaign of calumny against  the senator’s name without verification. Information on publications such as these do not represent the interest of the masses and are sponsored for selfish interest.

Our people have been impoverished by by a government which the architect and engine room to all the evil that prevailed is now  in the APC, They know who he is and have not hidden that fact.

No amount of propaganda against the distinguished senator will prevail.if these people are actually progressive minded how come they continued, barrage on sen j.j. Udoedehe,a man who built the platform on which they now sit.

We are also not part of the ongoing endorsements known to be organized by the state party chairman with some chapter chairman where recognition is being given to the charade of April 11 as free and fair.

 While we are supporting every action being taken by our great party to reclaim our mandate at the polls, we must not be seen as approaching justice with unclean hands and discord.

These various acts of lifting signatures from attendance registers at meeting to issue communique without people consent, must stop henceforth.  it is alien to the apc.

We will resist any attempt to substitute names without adhering to the provisions of the apc constitution either for the purpose of deposing affidavits for the election petitions tribunal or public relations stunts.

 What this band of crooks,and pen for hired who refered to APC supporters as "miscreants", have done by constantly, demonizing  Udoedehe is criminal and calls to question the nature of the people who aspires to occupy the highest office in the state. 

It is pertinent to remind the people, in case they have forgotten, that while they were in government busy plotting the destruction of the people, Sen. John James Udoedehe stood by the people these past eight years, suffering personal deprivation and imprisonment in the process. He was discharged and acquitted of treason charges, after three years in court and has not only visited the children orphaned in that struggle but has also adopted them as his own. All are attending schools at his behest with a hope for a better future.

Senator John Udoedehe it was who led the people in that epic struggle. His vehicle was sprayed with machine gun fire. He survived on account of the bullet proof resistance of his conveyor.Arrested and kept under the ground, removed and stuffed into a putrid smelling prison, flown for over five hours mid air to be demoralized, slapped by the Federal police acting in concert with State authorities even in the face of the court which looked on, impotent, as lawlessness reigned supreme; charged for even treason against his fatherland with the consent of the President of the republic, as he sought to give his people an alternative to the incumbent PDP government of his State, Senator John Udoedehe did not blink. He stood for the people. The people reciprocated with real love.

Udoedehe,have deployed lawyers to the cases of those tried or detained in  various detention centers around the country on the defunct AC N cases & others whose matters are on Appeal as in suit no CA/C/472c/2014 have had Senior Counsels assigned them.

He has lost several business prospects from NNMC Oku Iboku,QUALITY ceramics itu,he has had his oil licenses withdrawn plus a school in Abuja demolished,nearly lost the wife.

The  pay back can never  be  character assassination. 

 

Finally, it is important for Akwa Ibom people to know that these group of people trying to destroy a good man in Sen. J. J. Udoedehe particularly certain members of the ruling class in the State and their hangers on are people,who rued his love affair with the  common people. There is no doubt that they have failed in their beat, to present to the people  a counterfeit and are looking for whom to blame for their folly.
