Reports have emerged of how former governor of Akwa Ibom state, Goodswill Akpabio has bizarrely refused to leave the state governors mansion following the expiration of his tenure in May.
Sources close to the current government told Sahara Reporters that Akpabio relocated from the presidential suite of the Gubernatorial Lodge to the luxurious VIP suite and this move comes at period when the governor is being accused embezzlement of public funds, financial recklessness, and laundering the Akwa Ibom public funds for his selfish gains.
It was gathered that Akpabio, Mr. Etekamba Umoren, former Permanent Secretary Government House and Mr. Udo Isobara, former Accountant General of the State are the three men responsible for embezzling close to N60 billion of state funds.
The trio have been exposed by Leo Ekpenyong and Co., a soliciting and legal practitioner’s firm based in Abuja who filed a petition personally against the former Governor, Godswill Akpabio. In petition the firm said the former governor is guilty of “graft and money laundering perpetrated with impunity and utter disregard of laid down financial regulations and due process.”
The firm also alleged that it had documents to back up the claims of gross financial mismanagement. The firm also urged the EFCC and Federal Government to investigate Akpabio thoroughly.
