It was on Friday that the news of the arrest of former Governor of Akwa Ibom State and Senate Minority Leader, Godswill Akpabio by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC got everyone talking. He has returned to his Abuja residence, and said that he has nothing to hide about his term in office as the governor of Akwa Ibom State.

He was invited, yesterday, at about 5. 20pm to the Abuja Headquarters of the EFCC, over a petition dated June 22, 2015 and addressed to President Muhammadu Buhari and the EFCC. The petitioner, Leo Ekpenyong alleged that Akpabio, fraudulently converted N108.1 billion belonging to Akwa Ibom State during his tenure as governor. He was accompanied by a few aides and his lawyer, Ricky Tarfa (SAN) to EFCC

The former governor claims that he simply obliged an invitation to come and answer some questions at the EFCC headquarters and has nothing to hide that's why he walked into EFCC himself last evening to answer questions about his tenure in Akwa Ibom.

His media group said that those who are playing politics with the decision of Senator Akpabio to honour the EFCC invitation must be acting a known script. So, why all the news of arrest?
