IPAC Chair Alleges Threat To Life

The Chairman of Cross River State Inter-Party Advisory Council, Mr. Godwin Akpama, yesterday said a close aide to the governor was threatening him. In a letter to Governor Liyel Imoke, he said: “It is necessary that I bring to your attention this issue of threat to my life by one of your aides. “Greetings, governor; God’s blessing, sir. Please, this is to bring to your attention threats to my life by one of your aides through one of his aides. This is the second time he has called me to threaten my life. The first was that I was supporting Legor Idagbo against his preferred candidate. Now, he says I am castigating his boss. It is surprising that this government official is harbouring thugs, killers to undo those who raise genuine issues for his clarification! “It is necessary, sir, that I bring to your attention this issue of threat to my life by your aides. My life and those of my family are in this ‘terrorist’s’ hands. I will use all legal approach to seek justice to this continued threat to my life.”
