Former governor of Akwa Ibom State, Senator Godswill Akpabio has denied owning any property in Dubai, United Arab Emirate or any other foreign country.
He then challenged the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration to seize any money found in a foreign bank account bearing his name.
The Senate Minority Leader stated this on Friday in a statement issued by his media assistant, Anietie Ekong, where he denied a newspaper report that he had made a secret attempt to withdraw $7.2 billion from banks in Dubai, United Arab Emirate, through channels in the Central Bank of Nigeria.
It would be recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari had recently signed agreements with the United Arab Emirate on the repatriation of Nigeria’s stolen funds deposited in that country. This move is believed to have unsettled corrupt, former and serving Nigerians officials, who have unexplained wealth and property there.
Noting that the media report against him was sponsored by his political opponents, Akpabio said the government should investigate the source of such money and also prosecute its owner.
According to him, “We challenge these purveyors of falsehood to publish the full details of the purported $7.2 billion account and we urge the Federal Government of Nigeria to seize such sum and prosecute the owner if it does exist.
“People should learn to accept the outcome of elections and stop this kind of dangerous propaganda in the name of politics,” he stated.

When the probing stops, Mr politician rallies his connection of human bank accounts, cashes out and all is well and good. By the way, how are those Mat-HO-raw chick's? I know Nigerian men don't do this. This man is innocent. Free him jor.

ReplyDeleteI know that the non stop corruption stories. is a well orchestrated plot by the APC to make nigerians forget the massive suffering and hyper inflation in the country.
ReplyDeleteHe has and we all know it. I remember when he visited st. Kitts about 2 years ago during their independence day. This man " Dashed" the island over 50000USD. It was hell for us from then on,they start inflating prices for us and telling us how rich Naija is. In their words "an ordinary state governor dishing out USD like papers? Dem All Rich Mehn.
ReplyDeleteYea right, how can they trace the money to you when you've stashed it away under different aliases. Like we don't know how u guys do it. Yinmu
DeleteI don't know why we have heard anything again about the imaginary list of corrupt nigerians. which Gov Oshimole clsimed the US govt gave APC.
ReplyDeleteThat's my uncommon transformation Ex-governor.
ReplyDelete*Grins*
Eyahhhh. He wants to go such length to prove his point.i wish oda ex governor can say such.
ReplyDeleteBefore nko?
ReplyDeleteWhich one is "Awwwww......", Akpabio is a thief, maybe a smart one, but he's a thief! he lives in Protea Hotel, Asokoro permanently having 2somes and 3somes every night. Weekends (if he's around) are even worse as you see small small girls go in and out his room all day. Before anyone says he may not be fucking all of them, pls tell me what business he's supposed to have with small girls all day apart from pussy biz?
ReplyDeleteNow, where does he get the money to fund this lifestyle?
He travels abroad with 2/3 girls at a time, is he their father?
I can authoritatively tell you he has houses in Dubai and the USA, in whose name, I don't know but he does! My work puts me in the midst of these crooks we call lawmakers all the time, the trick is to be as invincible as possible and you hear them brag about a lot of things. Our leaders are evil, I feel no pity when they eventually get caught and thrown in prison no matter the noise or propaganda they raise.
U just burst my bubbles.
DeleteI didn't think he was into women. Chai! *wails*
Buhari going about signing agreement with nations to bring back stolen funds. Like when they bring it back it will be used for the whole citizens. It will still go into their pockets. Abeg. These APC people are getting annoying.
ReplyDeleteOyaa ooh, this is how it's done he has said it boldly, Efcc if you get any record of money wey Akpbio hide anywhere oya go and collect shikena. Hahaha am loving the disgrace that awaits this tatafo agency and the one not facing his front to rule Nigeria but to show his dullardness.( this word is born out of the lack of abetter adjective to express myself, other users do so at their own peril).
