Wike's Actions Are Suspicious, Has He Forced Entry Into Nunieh's House

A former Acting Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Joi Nunieh. in an interview in Abuja, accused the Minister of sexually harassing her, claiming that she slapped him in the process.

But Akpabio, in a statement by his Special Adviser Media, Anietie Ekong, described the allegation as malicious and libellous. On the live interview on Monday with Arise News former Acting Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Joi Nuniehon on her words explain why she slapped Godwills Akpabio she said" I slapped him because of plan B, he thought since he couldn't get me take that Money that if he come up on me and he didn't know that i'm a PortHarcourt girl"

After several viral video online with claims, Niger Delta Affairs Minister Godswill Akpabio later clear the air yesterday A statement from his Special Adviser Media, Mr Anietie Ekong Narrated the Allegation to be malevolent and untrue.

In interview with the Nation Mr. Anietie Ekong further explained that The Honourable Minister has held Position and also appointed Women when he was a Governor of Akwa Ibom State, but such didn't happen. The Honourable Minister has never hidden his admiration and respect for his wife, Mrs. Ekaete Akpabio, Children and sisters, he therefore felt compelled to react to the malicious attack on his person by Ms. Nunieh bothering on allegations of sexual harassment. The Honourable Minister therefore finds the said allegation nauseating and a very cheap blackmail, for Ms. Nunieh to suggest or insinuate that he sexually harassed her, while she was the Acting Managing Director of the NDDC.

Whilst the Governor of Akwa-Ibom State, the Honourable Minister summoned the political will and effrontery to stop modern day slavery in his state, where young women and children were ferried away from the State to other states in Nigeria to be used for all sorts of menial chores as house maids and most suffered unimaginable unethical trade malpractices and maltreatment. He ensured that anyone caught in that trade was severely punished.

He signed the Child Rights Law to protect children, especially the girl child from stigmatization and punishment by ordeal where some were executed or banished on allegation of witchcraft. The Child Rights Law also made primary and secondary education in Akwa Ibom State free and compulsory; educating the girl child was his topmost priority.

The Honourable Minister also finds it appalling that, Ms. Nunieh, never deemed it fit to report the alleged incident to the police at the earliest opportunity she had, before, during or after her tenure as the Acting Managing Director on 17th February, 2020, if indeed the allegation was true. He added that the Ms. Nunieh Claims was sponsored to tarnish his reputation.

Though with the recent action of the River State Governor Nyesom Wike, seems suspicious , has Wike forced entry into Nunieh's house and ordered the police officers out of the premises.

That also the Honourable Minister has instruted his lawyers to seek redress on behalf over defamatory Statement made by Ms. Nunieh.
