Senator Ita Enang has urged the immediate past governor of Akwa Ibom, Mr Udom Emmanuel, to focus on the alleged corruption leveled against him instead of looking for who to blame.

Enang said this in a statement issued in Uyo and made available to newsmen, Thursday.

The former governor had come under fire over alleged financial mismanagement during his administration in the state.

Enang said every political office holder should know that he or she will account for the period of stewardship either to his people or to God.

Enang, who was the former special assistant to the president on Nigeria Delta Affairs, wondered why Emmanuel would not want to render account of his stewardship for eight years to Akwa Ibom people.

He said Senate President Godswill Akpabio should not be linked to the petition on alleged corruption.

Enang said the office of the Senate President is an esteemed office and should not be linked with personal issue on alleged petition.

“The progressive Conscience and Team Nigeria, and indeed all development conscious Akwa Ibom citizens reference the publications and discussions regarding alleged petition against the immediate past governor of Akwa Ibom state, Mr Udom Emmanuel to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to account for his tenure in office.

“The attempt to deflect from the subject, searching in diversionary tactics for persons allegedly behind such, attempting in course to link the Senate President’s person or office thereto, we volunteer a brief intervention.

“That from all interactions there is nothing to link the Senate President or his office and associates with the alleged petition.”
