Akwa Ibom State Governor, Godswill Akpabio has described as false and malicious, the allegation making the rounds that he bribed the Resident Electoral Commissioner in the state to write the presidential election result for him.

Speaking through his information and communications commissioner, Mr Aniekan Umanah, Governor Akpabio described as cheap talk, his purported bribe of the REC with the sum of N2.5 billion and a Prado Jeep, adding that this resort to hyperbolic blackmail by the opposition and their cohorts in the state was the height of desperation, which revealed the poverty of their reasoning faculties.

Governor Akpabio wondered how, where and when the transaction was made, and challenged the purveyors of the story to expose to the public, how such an incredible sum was given out, transferred or paid, including details of the banks, agents or account details which made or received the payments.

The governor said that some desperate politicians were going for broke in their selfish bid to win elections at all costs.

He reminded them that power resided with the voters, who will either elect or reject them at the polls and that no amount of hate mongering or smear campaign against his person would buoy their cause, as Akwa Ibom people had already decided who to vote for.
