The Media Assistant to Gov Udom Emmanuel, Reverend Richard Peters has described the allegations making rounds on social media that Governor Emmanuel gave an order that Senator Akpabio’s wife, Unoma should not be allowed entrance into the government house as cheap blackmail and attempts by the peddler to gain publicity.
Ata Ikiddeh, an ex-aide to former governor, Godswill Akpabio, had in an article published on his Facebook wall claimed that Mrs Unoma Akpabio was not allowed entrance to the Government House, Uyo on the orders of Gov. Emmanuel.
He said the incident took place when Mrs Akpabio went to the government house to deliver a letter from President Muhammadu Buhari to Gov. Emmanuel.
The letter, according to him, contained the president’s communication to the governor on his (Buhari) decisions on police reforms and other demands of the Nigerian youths during the EndSARS protests, for onward dissemination to residents in the state, adding that a similar letter was sent to other governors.
But Udom’s media Aide, Peters in a press conference on Monday said Ikiddeh’s belated outburst “was just to seek attention and publicity after years of being politically irrelevant.
