Akpabio

Governor Godswill  Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State said he has been vindicated with the arrest and parade of five armed robbers by the state's security service, who attacked the office of the Director General of Umana Umana Campaign Organisation, Chief Sunny Udom.
 In a statement by the state’s information and communications commissioner, Aniekan Umanah, which was sent to SHOWBIZPLUSng, Akpabio said " I have been vindicated after a false and spurious allegation went spiral that the state government was responsible for the attack on the office of the former chairman of AKIIPOC, but the parade of five criminals who claimed and publicly admitted that they were armed robbers and not political assassins as claimed by Udom, has vindicated the state governor and government of having any link with the robbery attack."

 The release added that " Governor Akpabio as the leader of the state and a committed Christian will never contemplate taking or be part of any plan to terminate the life of a
 fellow human being, adding, let us not in the name of
 politics try to bring down people because power comes from God. I thank the security agency for rising to the occasion by ensuring that those involved in the robbery case were quickly apprehended."
 The office of Chief Sunny Udom in Uyo was attacked by gunmen but the attack was suddenly turned into a politically motivated assassination attempt on
 the life of Udom by the opposition in the state.
