The
immediate past Senior Special Assistant to the Governor Udom Emmanuel on
Technical Matters and Due Process, Engr. Uffot Ebong, has incurred the wrath of
journalists in Akwa Ibom State as he publicly for ‘embarrassed’ them at the
Governor's Office Annex, Uyo, during the "bread sensitization seminar."
According to reports, the Engr. Ufot
Ebong who was Chairman of the occasion, when approached by journalists for
brief interview after the event, flared up and accused them of bad reportage of
the 'AKEES press briefing' held recently in Uyo which he attended as guest.
"You people reported
nonsense. Is that what I said? Why did you people put words in my mouth? Get
away from here or…", he was quoted as saying.
The situation nearly
snowballed into a fracas before former Special Assistant to Governor on Media,
Mr. Essien Ndueso, waded in to urge journalists to leave him (Ufot Ebong)
alone.
The journalists who covered
the event have demanded an unreserved apology from Engr. Uffot Ebong or risk receiving
zero-coverage of his Bureau’s activities if he makes it into the about-to-be
constituted state executive council.
