TuFace Idibia Accepts Governor Akpabio's SUV
The
controversy over music star Innocent "2face" Idibia acceptance of a
controversial Toyota Prado SUV gift from the profligate governor of Akwa
Ibom state, Godswill Akpabio, is finally over.
The
Akwa Ibom state government released a photo today showing Mr. Idibia
looking on as the commissioner for Information, Aniekan Umanah presented
the car keys to Annie Macauley–Idibia in the presence of her husband
and a friend, Jackson Udom.
A
source within the Akwa Ibom State Government said Mr. Akpabio had to
hurriedly deliver the car to avoid the humiliation that might come from
the musician rejecting the gift.
"The
governor didn't want to allow time and space for critics to convince
the musician to reject the gift," the source said. "He believes that
might dent his image."
