The minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Umana Okon Umana, has dismissed as malicious falsehood the allegation of anti-party activity against him, and said that the national leadership of his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), has acknowledged his loyalty, commitment and contributions to the party. Umana added that the governorship candidate of the APC in Akwa Ibom State, Obong Akan Udofia, “knows the level of my support for him and the party, and has equally appreciated my contributions.”
The Minister was responding to claims by hack writers that he was working against the interest of the APC in the state. Umana said all such claims were rubbish and should be dismissed by all reasonable people.
