According to a release signed by the Director of Media and Publicity of the Organization, Hon.

Publishing with a streaming and Sensational Headline, “Okobo Council Secretary Embroiled in Certificate Forgery Scandal “.

the perpetrators of this satanic act also insulted the Governor of Akwa Ibom State in his one page computer print out colour paper by placing the Governor’s picture in the second lead story “ Akwa Ibom State Government Under Fire Over Appointment Process”

While waiting for the legal team of Pastor Etim Ibok to perfect their necessary legal processes that will bring the writer , sponsors and peddlers of this misleading and character assassinating article to full weight of the law, the Offi Development Stakeholders Forum wondered why the blackmailers and their pay masters did not raise alarm of certificate forgery when the same Pastor Etim Ibok, the Present Okobo Council Secretary was appointed twice as Supervisor in Okobo Local government Council.

While urging the general public to ignore the tissue of lies and falsehood published in Daily Gist to give the Council Secretary , Pastor Etim Ibok a wounding image before the public, the forum advised those who could not get the appointment not to take their frustrations and political woes to the doorstep of responsible politicians.
