According to her 'This is definitely the handiwork of those who don't want me to tell the truth about what is going on at the NDDC. My Governor, Wike, says they have tried to pressure him to retract the statement from the state government, warning that I should not be harmed but he has refused. The minister Akpabio thinks he can intimidate me with police but I will not be intimidated. He is afraid that I have exposed the fact that there is no forensic audit going on at the NDDC. Yesterday, the BPP appeared before the Committee and said they were deceived into issuing a certificate of'no objection' by Akpabio who told them that the 2020 budget had been passed. No matter how long they take I will give my testimony.'
