Senate President Akpabio reveals source of N200m he gave Wike

Akpabio earlier revealed the source of the N200 million he gave to the former governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike, to support his campaign for election in 2015.

Wike, at a thanksgiving ceremony in Port Harcourt on Sunday, June 18, revealed that Akpabio donated N200 million to support his governorship ambition in 2015.

Akpabio claimed that the N200 million he gave to Wike in 2015 was not from the purse of Akwa Ibom state, where he was the governor then, but was from his savings from the telecom sector, where he was a managing director before he became the governor.
