Agbor Stakeholders Forum (ASF) has called on the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, to desist forthwith from his constant public attacks on their kinsman and embattled former Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele.
ASF, in a statement signed by Kanene Kachikwu on their behalf, warned Akpabio to remember that “he lives in a big glass house.” According to the group, the call is coming on the heels of another recent public attack on Emefiele.
The group noted that the Senate President, at his reception in his hometown in Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom State, without any provocation attacked Emefiele, saying that President Bola Tinubu was clearing the former Central Bank governor’s mess, as he “left a big hole in the national treasury. “I still stand by my position,” Akpabio asserted, referring to his previous attack on Emefiele that went viral.
ASF recalled that last February, Akpabio, at a function in Rivers State, also publicly disparaged Emefiele, saying to his audience that Emefiele’s crimes were too many, and that the Federal Government didn’t know what to charge him with.
The group said: “In the light of what seems to have become Akpabio’s frivolous pastime, we hereby warn the head of Nigeria’s Senate to remember that he lives in a big glass house and, therefore, throwing stones could amount to an act of self-annihilation.
“Apart from the fact that Akpabio’s careless and baseless statements are debasing him and his exalted office more, we must awaken him to the fact that he must not take Emefiele’s professionalism and deep patriotism for granted.”
