According to SaharaReporters,Governor Emmanuel started building the expansive mansion immediately after assuming office. The contract for the building project suggests that the Governor may have formally endorsed a powerful fraudulent cartel and corruption channel that was used by his predecessor and benefactor, Sen. Godswill Akpabio, to defraud the State of several billions of naira.
The contract for the multi-billion naira building project was awarded by Mr. Emmanuel to VKS Construction Limited, a construction firm said to be owned by Mr. Onur Kumral, a Turkish national who several sources confirmed aided former governor Godswill Akpabio in siphoning public funds.
Mr. Kumral was formerly the project manager of another construction company, Ronesans Construction Nigeria Limited, a Turkish firm. SaharaReporters investigation revealed that this Turkish company is a subsidiary of Ronesans Holding in Turkey but had to be registered as Ronesans Construction Nigeria Limited when it first arrived Nigeria in 2014 on the invitation of former Governor Godswill Akpabio. The first contract awarded to the company in Nigeria was the construction of the Four Point Sharaton Hotel in Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom State.
SaharaReporters reports when it correspondent visited the multi-billion-naira mansion in the Governor's hometown of Awa community in Onna Local Government Area, work was going on in full swing. An artisan working at the site who craved anonymity said that they have been given a mandate by the Governor to complete the work as soon as possible.
