WHY UMANA CANNOT BE AKWA IBOM GOVERNOR OBONG ATTAH CURSED UMANA -IBIBIO ELDERS


More revelations have emerged to how the All Progressive Congress (APC) Governorship candidate, Obong Umana Okon Umana could amass for himself with so much wealth. Over the weekend, one of the office assistants attached to Obong Umana Okon Umana  while he was the commissioner for Finance during the regime of Obong victor Attah made stunning revelations that exposed Umana's sharp practices while in office. 
The Assistant secretary (names withheld) divulged the information to a staff reporter of The Signal Newspapers that in the course of Obong Victor Attah's presidential campaign, Obong Umana who was the commissioner for Finance then forged the signature of the then governor to withdraw over three billion naira from the treasury of the State. The source revealed that there was a fierce confrontation between Umana and the then Accountant general who discovered irregularities in the forged signature on the memo and questioned the APC candidate on the authenticity of the signature. 
The source revealed that the accountant general made fruitless efforts to call Obong Victor Attah to ascertain his approval of the memo whether it was from him the governor but intelligent sources said Umana compromised a close aide of the governor to bar calls from the AG to Obong Victor Attah's phones  who at the time was in Kaduna. 
The Assistant Secretary revealed that after the accountant general could not get through to Attah, she approved the released of the three billion naira to Obong Umana Okon Umana. Upon Attah's return, the Accountant General went to inform the Governor on the transaction that was made during his absence and Obong Attah flatly denied signing the memo to release the said three billion naira. But when Umana Okon Umana was called in to answer questions on the fraudulent memo , he bluntly refused to answer Obong Victor Attah, the former governor of Akwa Ibom State. Instead, he insisted on exposing Attah if he tried to call in the security agents. 
Obong Attah who was four months from ending his tenure as the governor of Akwa Ibom State informed some Ibibio elders to prevail on Obong Umana Okon Umana to return the looted funds for the funding of Dr Udoma Ekarika's campaign. Instead of returning the money, Umana told the Ibibio elders that he has used the money to purchase oil bloc and turned around to blackmail Attah of looting state money to fund his presidential campaign. 
 Eyewitnesses at one of the meeting have confessed that Obong Attah out of fear that Umana will expose him abandoned the issue to avoid crises in his Government but rendered curses on Umana Okon Umana that he will never be the governor of Akwa Ibom State throughout his lifetime after he discovered that Umana was a chief financier of Chief Godswill Akpabio against his son-in law.
