WIFE OF FORMER GOV. OF AKWA IBOM STATE, VICTOR ATTAH, BURIED

Gov. Akpabio and wife at the funeral service

The funeral service of Mrs. Allison Attah, wife of Obong Victor Attah, former governor of Akwa Ibom state took place on Friday 30th Nov. and it was quite a surprise when incumbent Governor, Godswill Akpabio in company of his wife, Mrs. Unoma Akpabio, and members of the state executive council and supporters stormed the funeral ceremony held at the Cardinal Ekanem Seminary Playground, Uyo.

Governor Akpabio and Obong Victor Attah have been at war since the former succeeded the latter in 2007. Though both of them are members of People Democratic Party (PDP), Obong Victor Attah withheld his support for Akpabio in his 2007 election bid to support his son-in-law. Akpabio eventually won but there has been a rift between the two since then.
