The State chairmen of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the South-South region  have dismissed allegations that Senate President Godswill Akpabio orchestrated a smear campaign against former Akwa Ibom Governor Udom Emmanuel.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, DEBO OLOGUNAGBA, had accused Akpabio of being behind Emmanuel’s recent invitation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

However, in a press release over the weekend, the South-South APC chairmen described the allegation as baseless and mischievous.

They further accused the PDP of being in turmoil due to its internal crises and attempting to shift blame for its misfortunes onto others.
