Godswill Akpabio, the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, has
reacted to reports of him paying $5million bribe to the Attorney General of the
Federation, Abubakar Malami.
Reports had it that Akpabio allegedly bribed Malami, who is
the Minister of Justice with $5million to secure the appointment of a Sole
Administrator for the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
But, Malami had denied the report, saying those behind the
report should provide evidence to backup their claim.
Reacting, Akapbio also described the reports as false.
A statement by Akapbio’s Chief Press Secretary, Anietie
Ekong, insisted that the report was the handiwork of mischief-makers.
The statement reads: “Senator Godswill
Akpabio said his attention has been drawn to a piece of fake news which claimed
that he paid $5 million bribe to the Attorney General and Minister of Justice,
Abubakar Malami and others to secure the appointment of a Sole Administrator
for the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
“The Honourable Minister of Niger Delta Affairs stated
categorically that ‘this is a piece of malicious concoction manufactured from
the pit of hell by mischief-makers. It is a figment of the imagination of the
author of the fake news. Senator Akpabio denies the story in its entirety. The
authors of the fake news should be ready to back up their claim or face the
full wrath of the law.’”
