Breaking News

Akan Okon confesses before the court that he has never acquired any skill in forensic science and as such he was not an expert in forensic analysis. He gives the court an overview of all his working experiences cutting across several banks from 1987 until he left First Inland Bank to join a firm known as Fantitix Investments Ltd.
His witness had stated yesterday that he was contacted by Akan Okon’s lawyers to carry out forensic investigations of Pastor Umo Eno’s credentials on August 25th 2022, whereas the case had been instituted since June 2022 by Akan Okon without the prompting of a forensic science expert.
What this means is that Akan Okon started insulting and accusing Umo Eno of parading a forged document, three months before engaging an alleged expert.

PST. UMO ENO AND HIS "PLENTY" SANS

Why the noise?

Pst. Umo Bassey Eno submitted his governorship nomination form with all the requirements including his WAEC.

Akan Okon said Umo Eno's WAEC is fake and took him to court.

Pst. Umo Eno first filed his WAEC certificate and the confirmation from Waec in court but on realising that the burden of prove will be shifted to him if he allows the Certificate to stay withdrew it and filed his testimonial thereby shifting the burden of proof to Akan Okon's team who brought this case in the first place.

Few jokers in Akwa Ibom are now questioning why Pst. Eno is using seven SANS instead of just bringing out his certificate even when the case is already in court.

1. He presented his WAEC certificate including the original while submitting his form and at the party screening exercise.

So, Let Akan Okon prove that it's fake.

2. Once you are in court, you use lawyers and not carpenters. So if he can afford fifty SANS, it's none of your business. Moreso, the case is political so lawyers can naturally join to show solidarity with the party.

3. Meanwhile WAEC has come out to say that Pst. Umo Eno wrote their exams and they issued him that certificate. They could be called upon to say the same in court.

4. Akan Okon's chances at this point is 0.0001%.

Akwa is PDP..

Press Release

THAT VAIN ATTEMPT TO MALIGN PASTOR UMO ENO WITH A CONCOCTED AUDIO

There is a doctored audio making the rounds on the social media and internet, crediting some derogatory statements to our principal, Pastor Umo Eno, trying to allude that he said that councilors didn’t purchase nomination forms.

It is a hoax perpetrated by persons who feel threatened by Pastor Umo Eno’s goodwill and the support he’s enjoying from the generality of Akwa Ibom people. The said audio did not emanate from our Principal, Pastor Umo Eno. It is an coinage of comments and reactions made at different events and fora, and surreptitiously used in a vain attempt to impugn the reputation of Pastor Umo Eno, the leading gubernatorial aspirant in the state.

It must be noted that Pastor Eno has consulted widely across the entire state, where he made statements from different contexts and perspectives. Therefore, picking these to create a negative impression about Pastor Eno, is unacceptable, and smacks of mischief.

Our standpoint is predicated on the fact that Pastor Umo Eno’s character doesn’t depict the statements. He is a humble, amiable and convivial person, who doesn’t use demeaning words on people, let alone, the people he seeks to lead.

The public is therefore advised to discountenance the mendacious smear campaign, aimed at tarnishing the hard earned image and reputation of Pastor Umo Eno.
