Umana Murdered Nsit Ubium Paramount Ruler

The leader of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Akwa Ibom State, Senator John James Akpanudoedeghe has accused the APC governorship candidate in the state of kidnapping during the Godswill Akpabio years. Udoedeghe, who made the assertion on planet FM in uyo during an interview, said that the Paramount Ruler of Nsit Ubium Local Government was murdered by Umana’s men over the 2015 election. The monarch Edidem Robert Obot, Oku Ibom Ibibio (III); and a former Chairman of the Akwa Ibom Council of Chiefs, was murdered in cold blood in his palace sometimes in 2012, on a Sunday after returning from church service. Udoedeghe also said the relative peace enjoyed in the state after Umana left office as Secretary to the Akwa Ibom State government justifies the fact he was the mastermind of the various dastardly acts of that inglorious era. He maintained that the same set of actors are still in power but that kidnapping and murder had seized to exist because Umana was kicked out of power. “You say I should assess the Udom Emmanuel administration. I have noticed that there is peace in the state. It means that (Umana) and his friends were responsible for all those acts. My point is that he (Umana) should not come to my party and spread the virus here” Udoedeghe said. Udoedeghe is challenging the outcome of the APC governorship primaries in the state. The APC chieftain maintained that Akwa Ibom people should avoid a deadly person like Umana , who according to him, would stop at nothing from killing anyone that opposes his views of leadership and should not be considered for any leadership position. Udoedehe has also sued Umana over the Candidacy of All Progressive Congress in the Gubernatorial election
