The Akwa Ibom State Government has denied allegations that Governor Umo Eno was involved in the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission's (EFCC) seizure of a Lagos property belonging to former Governor Udom Emmanuel. The denial comes after Senator John Akpanudoedehe, the African Democratic Congress governorship candidate, claimed in a social media video that Governor Eno had reported his predecessor to the EFCC, leading to the seizure.
According to the Akwa Ibom State Commissioner for Information, Aniekan Umanah, the allegations are "false, reckless and without foundation." Umanah stated that Governor Eno has never reported anyone to the EFCC, including his predecessor, and has instead shown respect for previous administrations.
The Akwa Ibom State Government has described Senator Akpanudoedehe's comments as "baseless, inciting and threat to peace."
