The Akwa Ibom state House of Assembly has descended into a serious
crisis after the state governor, Godswill Akpabio, personally supervised
the beating of a lawmaker he suspected to be politically opposed to him
and his loyalists, Premium Times has learnt.
Mr. Akpabio, witnesses said, watched as his loyalists manhandled
Onofiok Luke, chairman of the House Committee on Finance and
Appropriations, who was accused of being rude to the governor after he
rose in defense of another lawmaker accused of challenging a loyalist of
the governor at a caucus meeting held two days earlier.
The governor, our sources said, beamed with smiles as members of his
kitchen cabinet, comprising Nse Ntuen, chairman of Essien Udim local
government and Emmanuel Ekon, a member representing Abak/Ika/Etim Ekpo
federal constituency in the House of Representatives, assaulted Mr. Luke
for being allegedly rude to the governor.
