Senate Minority Leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio, has issued a press statement denying a newspaper report that he had made a secret attempt to withdraw $7.2 billion from banks in Dubai, United Arab Emirate, through channels in the Central Bank of Nigeria.
The statement, signed by Mr. Akpabio’s media assistant, Anietie Ekong, said the former governor does not own any property in Dubai or any other foreign country.
“We challenge these purveyors of falsehood to publish the full details of the purported $7.2 billion account and we urge the Federal Government of Nigeria to seize such sum and prosecute the owner if it does exist,” the statement said.
Mr. Akpabio said the media report against him was sponsored by his political opponents.
“People should learn to accept the outcome of elections and stop this kind of dangerous propaganda in the name of politics,” he said.
