Governor Emmanuel Udom of Akwa Ibom state has apologized to President Muhammadu Buhari over the embarrassment caused by his Senate Liaison officer and Special Assistant on Senate Matters, Chief Ita Enang.
Aniekan Umanah, Akwa Ibom state commissioner of Information issued the apology during a radio interview programme in Uyo. He said, “Our people were rather shocked when they heard on the news that a budget submitted in full glare before the senate had been retrieved and swapped illegally by Senator Enang, without the knowledge of the Senate leadership and this has brought severe ridicule to the image of the state.”
Umanah relayed the sympathy of the people of the state to President Buhari, saying no one would have envisaged that a man of Senator Ita Enang’s pedigree could have condescended to the level of such inactions leveled against him by the senate leadership, thereby being disrepute to the anti-corruption battle by the President.
