Akwa Ibom Assembly denies probing ex-governor Udom Emmanuel.

The Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly has denied reports that it is probing former Governor Udom Emmanuel, describing the claims as speculative and false. A statement issued by the Deputy Speaker, Kufre-Abasi Edidem, maintained that no committee has been constituted to investigate the former governor.

Edidem clarified that the only committee set up by the Assembly was to address the non-payment of factory workers at the Coconut Refinery, specifically the St. Gabriel's Coconut Oil Factory, and to investigate the veracity of public complaints regarding the factory's operations and workers' welfare.

The Assembly reiterated its commitment to handling public sector operations transparently and lawfully, without bias or prejudice. 

The Assembly advised the public to disregard the report about the probe into the former governor's tenure, as it lacks factual basis and does not reflect any official position or resolution of the House.
