Ekpeyong said Lamorde tutored Akpabio on how to write his statement, to avoid prosecution.
According to Vanguard Newspapers, Ekpeyong said “Lamorde should resign because he is working in league with Akpabio to stall his prosecution. What he is doing now is mere window dressing in the media to give the impression that he is serious about trying the former governor.
“That is why I have sent a new petition to the Presidency to remove Lamorde from the case and appoint a man with integrity to handle the case.”
