Embattled outgoing Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel on Sunday incurred the wrath of Nnug Udoe residence when he stopped his convoy on the expressway to take pictures with the corpse of a naked dead man who died on Saturday after being knocked down by a vehicle on Saturday and ordered his press crew to post same to the media as if he was attending to a helpless accident victim who was in desperate need of urgent medical attention.
The Governor was alleged to be driving along the Uyo - Nnug Udoe expressway when suddenly his first two vehicle on the convoy narrowly missed running over the dead body of a mad man on the highway who died on Saturday.
The convoy suddenly stopped on the orders of Udom upon seeing the dead corpse. He then directed his medical team to attend to the corpse and create the false impression that he is a kind, compassionate leader who is sympathetic to the plight of the victim.
His request did not go down well with officials of the Government House Clinic who were on the entourage but due to the pressure from the Governor, a medical doctor and a nurse whose names could not be ascertained were seen wearing gloves and torching the corpse while the Governor ordered his media team who were watching in shock and disbelief from their Government House Press Bus some meters away to hurriedly come down from the vehicle and take pictures of him with the mad man's corpse.
The pictures were later posted but the Akwa Ibom Government House Press Corps with a narrative that the Governor who values the life of every citizen stopped by to attend to an accident victim.
