Campaign Funds Misappropriation: APC Blasts PDP Over Malicious Information …Says No leader was Reported To EFCC

By UbongAbasi Ise

Given the reports making the rounds in the media claiming that Nsima Ekere Campaign Organisation was writing the EFCC and the ICPC, asking them to probe some leaders and elders of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Akwa Ibom State for embezzling campaign funds, Eseme Eyiboh, the Chairman, Information and Strategic Communication committee and spokesperson of Akwa Ibom state APC Campaign council, has come out to dismiss the claims, accusing the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, as a brain behind such allegation.
According to a statement released recently to the media, no APC leader was reported to any anti-corruption agency for campaign funds embezzlement, maintaining that the writer of the “badly written story” has no iota of idea of the campaign structure of the APC in Akwa Ibom State as there is nothing like “Nsima Ekere Campaign Organisation”, which the report purports to have written to the anti-graft agencies.
The APC campaign committee said the Akwa Ibom APC leaders, Senator Ita Enang, Senator John Akpanudoedehe and Obong Umana Okon Umana, mentioned in their report are men of high integrity and honour, whose contributions to the state, the APC and the campaign cannot in any way be impugned.
According to the statement, if  there are persons and group that really deserve investigation in respect to the just concluded election, that would be governor Udom Emmanuel  and the PDP.

The statement reads: “We hasten to say that if there are any persons or group of persons deserving to be investigated by the EFCC and the ICPC, it is the governor of Akwa Ibom State, His Excellency, Mr.Udom Emmanuel and the PDP for throwing caution to the winds and engaging in the most brazen and criminal brigandage against the treasury of Akwa Ibom State in the scope and magnitude of vote buying that characterized the 2019 election in the state. At the appropriate time, the anti-corruption agencies of the federal government will thoroughly investigate the use of public funds to corruptly buy votes, pay thugs and INEC during the elections. No criminal act of this state government shall go unpunished.”
The committee said it was futile for the writer and his sponsors to try to pitch Nigerians against each other by trying to play up hate against Miyetti Allah including the Kaduna State government as the campaign Organisation and the APC candidate, Obong Nsima Ekere did not receive any donation from either Miyetti Allah or the Kaduna State government, which shows that the authors of the allegation were deliberately out to misinform the people.
The APC campaign organization further call on Akwa Ibom people to ignore the story as it is the usual propaganda sponsored by the PDP-led state government.

By UbongAbasi Ise "Eat and remember the soil because it is human's brother' - Ibibio Proverbs There is a distinct community amongst the 22 villages of Offot Ukwa Clan called Uyo Village. This is the village where Mr. Udom Emmanuel, as Akwa Ibom State governor, is having his office. This village hosts the state judiciary headquarters, Police "A" Division, Nigerian Prisons, Fire Service, State Library headquarters, Uyo local government council, Anchor Insurance, Ibom Plaza, banks, and motley of business organizations. This community is the root of Uyo metropolis, the seat of Akwa Ibom State government. Ironically, this village has never had any indigene appointed as a commissioner into the state cabinet before. None of the indigenes has ever been a Permanent Secretary to any of the state ministries. They are not appointed into boards. They are also eluded by government contracts. More shockingly, no indigene of Uyo village has ever been elected Chair
