Corruption stain trails Akwa Ibom state governor, Emmanuel Udom, as a report by SR accuses him of constructing a cash-gulpingnaira hous edifice.
The report states that Governor Emmanuel, who was with Zenith Bank before politics, is constructing a multi-billion-naira mansion in his hometown of Awa community in Onna LGA of Akwa Ibom State.
The construction of the building was said to have begun right after assuming office.
The project is reportedly being handled by VKS Construction Limited, a construction firm owned by a Turkish national, Onur Kumral.
“Engr. Oliver Ebong and his company Olkem Nigeria Limited are fronts that was used by Godswill Akpabio, his brother Emem Akpabio, and Mr. Don Etim to loot billions of naira of Akwa Ibom funds. What happened was that the former Governor gave almost all the consultancy jobs for roads and other infrastructural projects and contracts of his government to Olkem Nigeria Limited which ran into several billions of naira.
“The cost of the consultancy contracts were usually inflated and returns were made to the former Governor, his brother and Don Etim. This fact was common knowledge within government circles.”.
“What were you expecting? Udom Emmanuel is a very corrupt individual. Those of us that know him very well cannot be surprised by what is unfolding. For him [Udom Emmanuel] to build such mansion which is worth billions of naira within four months of his government shows that worse days are ahead for Akwa Ibom people. It is very annoying that Engr. Oliver Ebong and his cartel are back in business after making billions from the previous administration.”
