Former First Lady of Akwa Ibom State, Mrs Unoma Akpabio, has described as, “unfortunate, sponsored blackmail against my family, which has been the order of the day in the past years”.
Unoma, who is the wife of the current Minister for Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio, stated this in a press statement she personally signed and made available to newsmen in Abuja.
According to her, “my attention has been drawn to a publication made by a certain David HundeyinΒ on Social Media platforms that Davok Suites , 58, Unit G/S.9 Ewet Housing Estate, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State belongs to Ekaette Akpabio, wife of Godswill Akpabio.
“Ordinary, I would have excused thisΒ ignorance since ownership of any property or Hotel in a Government EstateΒ is verifiably open to public knowledge .
“It is rather unfortunate that in Akwa Ibom,Β sponsored blackmail againstΒ my family has been the order of the day in these past years!
“I do not know the self- seeking interest David Hundeyin wishes to serveΒ by linking the gruesome murder of INI Umoren to my family.
“I do notΒ own Davok Suites.
I am not a shareholder.
I do not also know who owns Davok Suites neither do I know anybody whose nameΒ is Kufre Effiong – who is a staff of theΒ Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs.
Kufre Effiong does not work for my dear husband, Senator GODSWILL AKPABIO.
“I urge well- meaning Nigerians to ignore this blackmail, and the smear campaign on the reputation of my family.
Her Excellency, Mrs Ekaette Unoma Godswill Akpabio
