Akwa Ibom people ungrateful —Akpabio

Governor Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom
State has berated the people of the state for being
ungrateful despite his efforts to develop and transform
the state in his eight years tenure as governor, even as
he prayed for their forgiveness.

Akpabio, at the Ibom Hall, Uyo, during the
valedictory thanksgiving service organised in his honour
by the state government as part of the transition
activities to his successor, Mr. Udom Emmanuel, said
he decided to forgive the people as he would be
transiting to the Senate from May 29.
He said: “I forgive you of your many sins against me,
for your betrayal, false reports, blackmail, and
ingratitude towards my efforts at developing the state.

I forgive you because I bear no grudge against
anyone.
“As a young man, I devoted my time and did my best
for the development of the state. I am going back a
fulfilled man without paying attention to what people
may have said against me.”
