Governor Emmanuel had expressed shock over the unwarranted verbal attacks by Tinubu after reportedly enjoying access to state facilities for his rally.

Akparawa James Edet, said Tinubu’s statement was capable of inciting strife between Ibibios and their Yoruba brethren with whom they have cohabited for decades without any rancour.“We condemn in very strong terms the veiled threats directed at our son and Governor of our State by Tinubu and charge him to be measured, circumspect and responsible in his utterances as a leader while campaigning.” The statement said.
