Senator representing the Akwa Ibom North-East Senatorial District, Bassey Albert, has said no amount of intimidation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission will make him dump the Peoples Democratic Party for the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Albert said he was prepared to stand by the PDP, adding that the EFCC charge was orchestrated by someone in the state trying to coerce him into the APC.
He stressed that if a similar situation presented itself in future, he would still remain with the party.
Newsmen recalls that EFCC on Monday filed a 14-count charge at an Ikeja High Court against Albert for allegedly receiving 12 cars worth N254m between 2010 and 2014 while serving as the finance commissioner during the administration of Gov. Godswill Akpabio.
Speaking during a media event in Uyo, Albert described the charge by the EFCC as funny based on account of his stewardship as a commissioner in the state some three years ago.
