Three stewards working in the Akwa Ibom state governor's lodge in
Asokoro, Abuja was on Friday summarily dismissed by the governor,
Godswill Akpabio, over missing bundles of mint fresh dollars valued at
over $250,000 (N40 million) kept in the governor's bedroom.
Pilfering of huge cash in the lodge has become a recurring event. A few
years ago, the governor removed all the civil servants deployed to work
at the lodge and replaced them with political appointees and other
private consultants he thought could be trusted.
In one instance, it was learnt that after bundles of cash disappeared under similar circumstances, the burglary proof and window protectors
around the governor's apartment were changed sometime last year after
the perpetrators broke through the ceiling to gain access to the room
where cash was stacked in 'Ghana must go' bags.
Governor
Akpabio is trying to keep
the incidence under wraps.

These Nigerian Governors need to be stopped from stealing money from the Government coffers for their private use.
