The Akwa Ibom State Government
has denied renaming the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium following the
defection of former governor Akpabio from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to
the All Progressives Congress (APC).
This was contained in a statement
by the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Charles Udoh.
He described the false report as
the “handiwork of some unscrupulous elements”.
“The report is not only false but
mischievous with an intent of misleading the unsuspecting public and generating
skewed sentiments,” he said.
The commissioner stated further
that the Governor Udom Emmanuel-led administration is “laden with a high level
of integrity and would not descend to such lowly heights of renaming the
stadium”.
He reiterated the state
government’s commitment to continue its single-minded pursuit of the avowed
goal of people-oriented governance and sustainable development of the state.
Meanwhile, one day after Akpabio
join the APC, over 1000 members of the party in Oron federal constituency
pitched tent with the PDP on Thursday.
State PDP chairman, Obong Paul
Ekpo, received the defectors, stressing that the party was a religion of the
people of the state and all Nigerians.
