Senator Godswill Akpabio
According to an exclusive report on SaharaReporters,
Senator Godswill Akabio who is a former governor of Akwa Ibom State,
has been named as the central sure in the vehicle scam that led to the
detention of deputy National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party
(PDP), Prince Uche Secondus.
The embattled former PDP deputy national chairman remains in
detention, struggling to get bail after agents of the PDP found out that
a portion of oil proceeds was used to buy 23 luxury vehicles for party
leaders and officials including a former junior minister of defense,
Musiliu Obanikoro.
It was learnt that Godswill Akpabio colluded with Jide Omokore to
divert proceeds of funds meant for the federal government into a slush
fund that was used to purchase high-end luxury cars for party leaders in
which Uche Secondus shared to top PDP leaders and reportedly sold some
to an auto retailer in Abuja.
The Secretary of the PDP, Professor Wale Oladipo, who is also
involved in the scam, has hurriedly obtained a court injunction from an
Abuja high to prevent the EFCC from arresting him on the allegation that
he took some luxury vehicles from Secondus.
Ex-Governor Akpabio reportedly pressured Omokore to donate the
luxury vehicles to the PDP and submitted a list of party leaders
entitled to receive the vehicles.
