Revealed! Why Gov Emmanuel cannot sack Ini Edo as his personal aide

Ini Edo

Tongues have been wagging about the relationship which exists between the handsome hardworking governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel and Nollywood diva, Inobong Edoamaowo Ekim, simply known as Ini Edo.

The 37-year-old Akwa Ibom State-born actress and English Language graduate from the University of Calabar was appointed by the governor in his first term in 2015 as his special assistant on culture and tourism.

After the 2019 gubernatorial elections, for reasons best known to them, many had thought that the divorced wife of Philip Ehiagwina would not be reconsidered by the governor for his second term. But the shock came when the sexy actress was one of the very first aides to be reappointed by the chief executive of the oil rich state.

And the questions started rolling in: What is the actress’ magic wand? Is there any amorous relationship between the self-styled Brown Sugar and the governor who is always quick to claim that he is a professional in politics not professional politician? What is the main reason for the seeming closeness between the duo?

Relax, Maggie’s Blog has the answer to unravel the puzzle.

The governor and the actress hail from the same village in Onna LGA of Akwa Ibom State.

More so, the two hail from the same family. And the actress’ father,Elder Edo Ekim isthe head of the family, the governor's family!

Does that settle your curiosity?

If it doesn’t, well you are free to continue with your amebo work. But if you are caught, remember I warned you.
