The Akwa Ibom State Government has come hard on Obong Akan Udofia for allegedly claiming he conceived the idea of setting up Ibom Air.
A statement by the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Uko Udom said that Udofia does not own a single aircraft in the Ibom Air fleet.
Udom said the government was highly surprised at a viral video on social media platforms in which Udofia, the sacked governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the State, claimed Ibom Air was his brainchild.
According to him, Ibom Air was conceived by Governor Udom Emmanuel who worked with some consultants to make it a reality, adding that the Airline is fully owned by the Akwa Ibom state government.
The government threatened to apply appropriate sanctions against any person or group of persons laying claim to Ibom Air.
