Re: Attempted Invasion of Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly by APC thugs

The Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly was invaded in the early hours of today by thugs of APC dressed in military uniforms and under the protection of the police on the orders of the Akwa Ibom State Police Commissioner.

Normalcy was restored however by the timely visit of the Akwa Ibom State Governor Mr Udom Emmanuel. The visit of Governor to the House of Assembly was clearly in line with his position as the chief security officer of the state. The Governor has a moral and constitutional responsibility to legally protect lives and properties in the state.

It is pertinent to note that 13 APC thugs dressed in military uniforms and armed with AK47 rifles were apprehended by law abiding citizens and handed over to the police. However, it defies logic that these hoodlums were set free without due process of investigations by the OC Quick Response in Akwa Ibom state Superintendent Abdulkareem Suleiman.

The driver of the vehicle that conveyed the thugs dressed in military uniforms; Innocent Edet Udoh, and the gang leader; Nsikak Monday Stephen who is also the youth leader of nung Udoe Itak are still in custody. They have made useful confessional statements. The driver; has confirmed to law enforcement agents that they were hired by Victor Udofia, the immediate former State House of Assembly member representing Ikono state constituency.

Recall that a few days ago, a section of the parameter fence of the Assembly complex was pulled down in the dead of the night by people suspected to be APC thugs as a prelude to facilitating the invasion.

His Excellency, The Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Mr. Udom Emmanuel; this evening , addressed a press conference on this subject.

Rotimi Amaechi endured CP Joseph Mbu for years under Jonathan while serving as Rivers state governor, Udom should endure the current CP till parade change gear that is if parade will change gear next year. It is all politics and nothing else.

NothingDoMe:
As usual. Jonathan did this and Jonathan did that while avoiding the crux of the matter like a slippery snake.

seunmsg:
The crux of the matter is that Akwa Ibom is now APC. Tell Udom to stop fighting a lost battle. APC will win Akwa Ibom the same way PDP won Rivers in 2015.

Nigerians encouraging illegality because of politics. If Buhari is removed from office and the new president starts doing exactly this, you’ll be complaining and want people to listen. Can’t we at least play politics with some decency?

Udom Emmanuel should have finished packing his bags out of Uyo governor's mansion if he wants to be fair to the people of Akwa Ibom state who are already fed up with him. APC has already taken over Akwa Ibom state.
