Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State has declared that his family is intact despite allegations of ritual sacrifice from his daughter, Jane.
Jane had accused the governor of attempting to use her for sacrifice.
In the footage, Jane said the governor should be held responsible if anything happened to her because she doesn’t want to die like her mother.
Jane had said she would not be a sacrifice like her mother and brother who died under suspicious circumstances.
Reacting, Eno blamed the trending video on detractors.
Addressing journalists in Uyo, the state capital, the governor said he is focused and can’t be distracted.
He blamed political detractors for circulating the old video as a tool of distraction.
Eno said: “My family is intact and you can see all of them here. The event you are talking about took place immediately my wife died last year, so why is it surfacing now on the eve of our second anniversary when we are celebrating the milestone we have achieved?
“That teaches me that there are detractors around. My family is intact, that’s Jane herself there. We are a good family.
“I can’t be detracted, I remain focused. I will continue to serve Akwa Ibom people.
“My family is intact. Even in politics, family should be off limits.”
