A youth group within the All Progressives Congress, APC, known as Youths Renaissance says its attention has been drawn to the remarks made against President Muhammadu Buhari by Godwill Akpabio in which the Senator stated that Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has performed more than the APC-led Federal Government.
Collins Edwin, National Secretary, in a statement said the senator’s comment is capable of misinforming Nigerians.
He said, “Ordinarily, we would have ignored the gerrymander-Senator, but because his baseless comparism is capable of misinforming and misguiding Nigerians on the true state of affairs in the country, we have decided to reply him in a Zimbabwean manner”.
“First, Senator Akpabio is a remnant of the sacked PDP-government who mismanaged the fortunes of Nigeria in the past 16 years with nothing to show for the billions of dollars it received from oil boom.
“Second, Senator Akpabio is alleged to have looted Akwa Ibom state treasury dry with his false sense of ‘uncommon transformation’ which later turned out to be hoax.
“For Instance, his self-acclaimed World Class Hospital is now a paradox for deception as the Senator abandoned it for oversea treatment when he encountered minor incidence few months ago.
“Senator Akpabio lacked every moral, political and economic ground to criticise President Buhari who used the last two years to cleanse the squalor and augean stables left by the PDP government in which the gerrymander-Senator played a key role in entagling Nigerians in to the mess.
“Instead of thanking President Buhari for laying new and solid foundation for Nigeria in the past two years, Senator Akpabio shamelessly has gut to criticise Buhari who has freed Nigerians from the mancles of Akpabio and the PDP.
“We therefore call on the EFCC to investigate the mindless looting of Akwa Ibom state treasury from 2007- 2015 and subsequently prosecute anyone involved in the looting.”
