AKWA IBOM STATE DID NOT FRUSTRATE APC STATE CONGRESS

PRESS STATEMENT !

The attention of the Akwa Ibom State government has been drawn to a spurious claim by the leadership of APC in the state alleging that Akwa Ibom State Government denied the party the use of a venue in the state.
This allegation is not only untrue but is tainted with mischief aimed at masking the failures and parochial tendencies of the APC hierarchy in Akwa Ibom State.

Recall that only recently, the state government granted the APC permission to use the Uyo Township for their November 2017 Local Government rally grand finale. It is therefore a clear indication of the malicious intent of the APC leadership in the state in leveling this unfounded accusations against the same government who only a few months; in line with its political inclusion policy approved the use of state facilities to the party.

On behalf of the government of Akwa Ibom State, I hereby state unequivocally that the Akwa Ibom State Government did not at any time refuse the APC the use of public facilities in the state where all requisite conditions for the use of such facilities were met.

Its noteworthy to add that APC leadership in the state; in a similar show of its penchant for peddling falsehood with malicious intent had; in an unsigned news report in the Nation newspaper of May 9, 2018, accused the Akwa Ibom state government of plotting to unleash violence at its congress and it later turned out that the unorganized, selfish and nepotic tendencies within the rank and file of the APC in the state again reared its head as usual by way of factional infighting which the world can attest to.

Suffice to say that great good people of Akwa Ibom State are well enlightened and can decifer between truth and malicious propaganda.

Signed
Dr. Emmanuel Ekuwem
Secretary to Akwa Ibom State Government
