Be transparent, APC tells A’Ibom gov
The state Publicity Secretary of the APC, Mr. Ita Awak, said that in the last two months, every other governor in the country had declared what they met in their state treasuries and their indebtedness to others.
Speaking with journalists in Uyo, on Thursday, he stated that even President Muhammadu Buhari had told Nigerians what former President Goodluck Jonathan left behind in the nation’s treasury.
Awak accused Emmanuel of being secretive, saying that he had deliberately refused to disclose to the Akwa Ibom people the status of the state’s economic and financial status.
He said the APC leadership in the state and the good people of Akwa Ibom would not put up with Emmanuel for being insensitive to the collective interest of the people of the state.
He said, “The leadership of the All Progressives Congress and the good people of Akwa Ibom State shall not continue to put up with Mr. Udom Emmanuel’s character of being insensitive to our collective sensibilities.
“It is very clear to us in the APC that Emmanuel is secretive by refusing to tell the Akwa Ibom people the actual status of things because he has mastered the attitude of holding Akwa Ibom people in contempt, in the same manner that his predecessor, Senator Godswill Akpabio, did for eight years.”
Awak, who was a former Commissioner for Information, asked Emmanuel to tell the Akwa Ibom people without delay how much money the government of Akpabio left in the state’s treasury as of May 28, 2015.
