2015: Gov. Akpabio Should Be Held Responsible If Anything Happens To Me – Senator Etok

Akpabio, who is enjoying his last term in office as governor of Akwa
Ibom state, reportedly has his eyes on Senator Etok's seat.
The Senator, it would be recalled, was propped up for his current
position by the governor but in a startling revelation while briefing
newsmen, Senator Etok recalled the abduction ofhis wife and
mother-in-law and the series of text messages from "Akpabio Killer
Squad" threatening to assassinate him if he insists on contesting the
Senatorial election come 2015 as proof of his allegations.
He said: "I have on this phone some text messages that if I don't
retract the statement that I will contest election, after seven days,
I will see what they will do. The governor has alsoinstructed
different groups that if I don't retract the statement within seven
days, I will either be dead to stop me or alive to retract the
statement.
"Therefore, I want you, all the media, to ask the governor, or those
he had letloose, to tell the world what is the insult: that as soon as
they knew I was going to contest, my wife was kidnapped. After the
release of my wife, my mother in law was kidnapped. When she was
released, she died because of the torture she received in the hands of
the kidnappers. As a result of that, my father in law died out the
heart break. Therefore, I also want Nigerians to ask Governor Akpabio
what I have done to him. I have not done anything to him.
"I want all of you, like I am going to send a petition to the
President, to askGovernor Akpabio to let me be; that hishit squad
which he has resurrected should let me live. If anything happens to
me, I want the world to know that Governor Akpabio is after my life."
Etok reiterated his aspiration to seek re-election to the Senate come
2015 saying: "If I am sitting on a seat and somebody is coming to
remove me without consultation, I will hold on to the seat even if the
seat wants to break. Gentlemen of the press, I want to tell you that I
never said any other thing apart from these statements.
"I want the Nigerian public to say which of these statement was an
insult to the governor that he and his people said I have dared the
governor for saying I will contest election. I want the governor to
tell Nigerians and the International Community if there is anything
wrong in any man aspiring to contest for an office?"
