Akpabio Is A Liar – Gov. Udom

Governor Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom State has taken his predecessor, Senator Godswill Akpabio to the cleaners.

The governor alleged that Akpabio’s claims about projects he executed while in office were all false… “Today people ask me how many federal roads have we done. Let me say something today, when we took over governance, the Uyo-Ikot Ekpene road was awarded as a contract on December 19, 2011; how many kilometres were done.”

“Today we have done up to 23 kilometres of that road. Don’t allow anybody to deceive you. It is this administration that has taken care of that road up to 23 kilometres. We have done 1,700 kilometres of road across the state in less than three years.”
