The media office of Mr. Idongesit Ituen, member representing
the people of Itu State constituency has raised the alarm over attempts to
blackmail their principal by some failed Itu Political jobbers.
Speaking with newsmen in Uyo over the weekend, Head of Media NseAbasi
Odiong said, some internet marauders and cyber tigers have created a fake
facebook account for Idongesit Ituen and have used same to post all sort of
things ranging from naked pictures of women and men, using the said fake
facebook accounts to request for money from unsuspecting members of the public
amongst other heinous crimes used by the fake facebook accounts operators to commit.
For instance, Ituen’s aide narrated a story of how a certain
fake facebook account of Idong Ituen was used to inscribe the words, Constance
on my mind. He explained that there is also a grand plot by some politicians
from Itu Local Government Area who were defeated some days ago at the State PDP Secretariat in Uyo to blackmail
Ituen with a view to creating problems and divisions in the family of the Honunorable
member.
He said, the media office of the Honourable member had
intercepted some cloned messages and a facebook account of a certain inexistent
Ugoge 1of Calabar wherein the Ugoge used same to accuse the Honourable member
of having an affair with his wife in Calabar.
Ituen’s media aide maintained that so far at least four
media organizations had approached Ituen seeking to confirm the truth in the
claims by the fake Ugoge.
Speaking further, Odiong explained that it is laughable and
quite unfortunate for politicians from Itu extraction to connive with some
dishonest persons and try to paint Idongesit Ituen as a wife snatcher or
whatever.
He stated that for the avoidance of doubts that the Itu
Lawmaker has not visited Calabar for about two years running except once in
company with the Deputy Governor when they went for a meeting towards resolving
the Ikot Offiong, Oku Iboku Crises.
The Information manager of the lawmaker added that the
attempts by the sponsors of Ugoge1 of Calabar to create a picture of what is
not in existence has failed already and that it will lead to nowhere.
Odiong maintained that the media office of the Lawmaker is
challenging anyone with such information to proceed, step forward and make his
or her claims and not to hide under the cover of internet marauders with some
dishonest outfits as ready tools for bad services.
Averring further, Idongesit Ituen’s media office described
as a poorly executed blackmail orchestrated by those who think they own Itu
Local Government Area.
While responding to why he reads political meanings into the
blackmail attempt on Idongesit Ituen, Odiong asked rhetorically why such
unfounded claims of Idong Ituen Sleeping with someones wife did not come ever
since, he also asked why someone will link his Boss to Governor 2023 when the
lawmaker is yet to finish his first term as Member representing Itu in the
State House of Assembly.
He said he suspects where such unfounded allegations are
coming from and maintained that he is not surprise as according to him those
who are afraid of the rising profile of Idong Ituen wants to bring him down at
all costs. He however warned that the people planting blackmail on Ituen should
not claim monopoly of violence.
And queried again why the attack on Idongesit Ituen is
coming at a time the crooked political status quo in Itu Local Government Area is being
challenged by the Legislator.
Ituen’s media handler added again that no amount of
sponsored blackmail, character assassination and pull him down syndrome shall
deter the legislator from doing the good things he intends to do. He added that
he is aware and knows the man planted in Calabar to execute that job and maintained
that when the wicked men's cup are filled, the rest will be history.
Odiong furthermore appealed to politicians from Itu Local
Government Area who feels challenged by the rising profile of Idongesit Ituen
to either step up their game or engage the legislator intellectually as
anything on the contrary might be matched bumper to bumper.
He added that if the perpetrators of that acts are bold
enough, they should wake up and face the reality otherwise should bury their
heads in shame.
“Dear people of Akwa Ibom State, if you wake up one day and
find screaming headlines like Idong Ituen in Extra marital affairs mess, leave
my wife alone-husband tells Idongesit Ituen and its likes, please kindly ignore
them because this is the blackmail that is being orchestrated by our brothers
from Itu simply because Mr. Idongesit Ituen is saying allow Itu to be in Peace,
one family should not control Itu.” Odiong Concluded.
