APC Clears Air On Nsima Ekere Alleged Audio


By UbongAbasi Ise

Coming on the heels of the alleged audio of Nsima Ekere discussing with thugs, which has gone viral few days ahead of gubernatorial polls, Information and Strategic Communication committee of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Campaign council, has slammed the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, for saturating the media space with propaganda aimed at defaming the characters of the APC.
On the purported leaked audio, the APC media campaign team, in a statement signed by its chairman, Mr. Eseme Eyiboh, said audios of that nature could be manufactured by any criminal with technological savvy  as digitalization of today’s world could make possible imaginative creations.
“The Cyber space got saturated again by the PDP propaganda machinery, a well oiled department of the PDP campaign effort for the 2019 governorship election in the state. Since the commencement of the campaigns, the PDP has spared no effort in churning out one ridiculous propaganda item or the other, most of the time criminally defaming the characters of All Progressives Congress leaders.
“We state that the trending audio is one of such materials. In a digital world where technology has made things so easy to either corrupt or imaginatively create or contrive, such audios can be manufactured by any barely technologically aware criminal.
“Armed with such a weighty audio, if the authenticity is to be taken for granted, one would have thought such a “patriot” who “leaked” the audio should have headed to the relevant security agencies for investigation. But the real intention was to make money. In a season where any charlatan with any dubious merchandise, can easily sell to a desperate governor, mortally afraid of losing a re-election, the audio, no matter how manifestly flawed, would become a best seller.
“We are not entirely surprised that the dummy was sold to us and bought with the common patrimony of Akwa Ibom people,” the statement reads.
The media committee further called on security agencies to commence investigation immediately in order to bring the perpetrators of such act to book, while urging Akwa Ibom people to ignore the trending audio and go out en masse to perform their civic responsibility at the polls.
“Because of the weighty nature of the content of the trending audio, we invite the security agencies to investigate all those connected to this most heinous blackmail of the APC governorship candidate and bring the perpetrators to book. As a man who has paid his dues in the service of Akwa Ibom State, Obong Nsima Ekere can never contemplate anything that would endanger the life of any Akwa Ibom person.
“We call on Akwa Ibom people to once more ignore this latest propaganda outing by the failing PDP and the out-going governor of Akwa Ibom State, and troop out in their numbers tomorrow and fulfill their civic responsibility, as law enforcement agencies are on hand to protect them from those who want to foist themselves on the state,” said the Information and Strategic Communication committee of the APC campaign council.
