"It is not possible. It is not legally allowed for Mr Woyome to do what he did at the time. It is indefensible, so putting it plainly, it is against the ethics of the profession," Kpebu stated in an interview on Joy FM.

Kpebu suggests that Woyome should have remained silent on the matter, and he questions the businessman's humanitarian act, highlighting lingering questions about whether Woyome has fully repaid the judgment debt.

He emphasises that Woyome's remarks remind the public of his previous actions and raise doubts about his financial obligations.

Kpebu, however, advised Woyome to learn "how to keep quiet" and expresses concern about the businessman's credibility in light of outstanding financial obligations related to the judgment debt.
