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 |
