Bashir Ahmad, an aide to
President Muhammadu Buhari on new media, has been criticised on social media
for tweeting that Godswill Akpabio, a former governor of Akwa Ibom state, made
the list of ministerial nominees.
Ahmad had suggested that Akpabio
was corrupt in a tweet back in 2016.
A screenshot of the tweet now
deleted read: “Moves by Sen. Godswill Akpabio to hurriedly withdraw over $7.2b
secretly stashed in the UAE have been blocked by the CBN and EFCC.”
Sen. Godswill Akpabio makes the list.— Bashir Ahmad (@BashirAhmaad) July 23, 2019
Does this mean that anything
changed between 2016 and now?
The former governor first came
under investigation in 2015 for allegedly diverted over N100 billion from his
state.
An interim report by the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) also said Akpabio allegedly gave a bank
N1.4 billion “for unknown reasons.”
In August 2018 when he defected
to All Progressives Congress (APC) from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the
anti-graft agency said it has not closed the case against him.
