Former governor of Akwa Ibom State, Senator Godswill Akpabio has been dragged before an Abuja High Court over an alleged failure to pay for a rented crowd during campaigns.

The immediate past Minister of Niger Delta Affairs is said to have reneged on an agreement to pay for a crowd he rented to boost his failed presidential bid.

The case was filed on August 8, 2022, before the Wuse District Court of the Federal Capital Territory Abuja, by Mr. Ekikeme Ugwu, the National Legal Adviser of Presidential Support Committee (PSC).

The claimant is suing Akpabio and PSC Administrative Officer, Mr. Etta Elijah, for failing to pay up the sum of N680,000 “being amount agreed to be paid for logistics for thirty four attendees, Sixty Thousand Naira (N60,000) only for hiring of two buses and Twenty Thousand Naira (N20,000) only for designing of placards which the Defendants have refused to pay.”

Senator Akpabio, presidential aspirant in the recent All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Primary Election, stepped down at the last minute for eventual winner, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The claimant claims that only N100, 000 of the sum has been paid for the contract that was successfully executed.
