The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Akwa Ibom State, has debunked allegations by the All Progressive Congress (APC), that Governor Udom Emmanuel sent a whopping N5billion to Ekiti state, in the just concluded governorship election.
The APC chairman in the state, Ini Okopido, had in a statement over the weekend, alleged that the Governor, who chaired PDP Governorship Committee, donated N5billion cash to Governor Fayose to woo Ekiti electorates.
Speaking with journalists in Uyo on Monday, the Akwa Ibom PDP publicity secretary, Ini Ememobong, said such allegation was fabricated.
“The APC in Akwa Ibom State has for the past few days exhibited an unbridled capacity in concocting falsehood engineered either by crass ignorance mischief.
“The claim that governor Udom Emmanuel donated N5 billion to the Ekiti State government for the prosecution of the just concluded elections is manifestly false and can only be a product of minds seeking political attention from the government and their paymasters.
“This claim is totally unsubstantiated and practically impossible. The question here is that what is the expected benefits of investing N5billion in Ekiti,” Ememobong said.
