‘I Can Afford Any Life Style’

Blessing Osom, a Nigerian businesswoman, has reacted to allegation of being former Governor of Akwa Ibom state, Godswill Akpabio’s girlfriend. 

Journalist Jackson Ude had alleged that Godswill Akpabio looted N215 billion from Niger Delta Development Commission which he heads, allegedly cooled off during the weekend at an Abuja hotel with Ossom and allegedly gave her $50k to wage war against Emmanuel Udom who is the Governor of Akwa Ibom state. 

Reacting to this, Ossom stated that she shouldn’t be insulted with $50k because she makes good money daily. Insisting that she can afford any lifestyle without being sponsored, the businesswoman added that she will always stand by her people because there is hunger in Akwa Ibom state. 

She also said that fighting Akpabio is a waste of time because “who God has blessed, no man can curse”.
