Akpabio denies threatening to kill governorship aspirants

Akwa Ibom State Governor, Godswill Akpabio has debunked media reports suggesting that he is planning to kill governorship aspirants in the state.

According to the Governor, the report is another smear campaign by his traducers.

Reacting through his Chief Press Secretary, Pastor Anietie Ukpe, Akpabio expressed shock at the comments allegedly made by the Nigeria Ambassador to Russia, Chief Assam Assam,SAN, in a letter to the Secretary to the state Government, Mr Udom Gabriel Emmanuel and published in newspapers and the Internet.

Akpabio cautioned his political sons not to seek the destruction of their father in order to achieve their ambition like Absalom.

He said it was regrettable that Chief Assam would resort to a deliberate misrepresentation of his comments during the ground breaking ceremony for the permanent Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, secretariat, insisting that he did so out of mischief to curry public sympathy.

The governor further charged politicians to “engage in constructive idea and desist from destructive pronouncements meant to incite people, create disaffection and fan embers of disunity”.
