PDP Defends Akpabio Over Election Rigging Video by masterdre: 11:17am On Mar 27, 2013 |
Opposition, civil society and others are denouncing the governor. The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has come out in strong defence of one its governor’s, Godswill Akpabio, who confessed to rigging the party’s primary election in the northwestern senatorial district of the state in 2007. However, opposition parties and civil society organizations expressed outrage over the governor’s action and confession, saying in sane societies and democracies, Mr. Akpabio should have been kicked out of office. Mr. Akpabio had confessed that he manipulated PDP primary election in the district in favour of Aloysius Etuk in 2007. The governor, who made the open confession during the “Good Governance Tour” led by the Information Minister, Labaran Maku, to the state, said, “The people of Ikono and Ini (LGA) from 1960 have never produced a senator. I used my own hand to strike out the name of the person who has won before, and I said it is important for me to give that region a senator in 2007, and I produced Senator Aloysius Etok for you; that is where he comes from.” Mr. Etuk, who subsequently won the main election that year, is currently in his second term in the Senate. During his first term, the senator served as the Chairman of the Committee on Appropriation of the upper legislative chamber. PDP defends its own The PDP spokesman, Olisa Metuh, told PREMIUM TIMES in a telephone interview that the video clip in which the governor said he manipulated the primary election was doctored; adding that it was an attempt to ridicule the governor who he said is a great and loyal member of the party. “We have already raised the alarm that some people are targeting Gov Akpabio and put him to public ridicule. This video, which from all intent and purpose is doctored evidence, is proof of what we have said before,” Mr. Metuh said. ” The video, I must say, however, is a poor attempt at ridiculing one of the giants of the party. We are happy with his performance in Akwa Ibom State and he is a great and loyal member of the PDP.” http://premiumtimesng.com/news/127091-pdp-defends-akpabio-over-election-rigging-video.html |

What do you expect from PDP. OBJ was president, Anenih is BOT chairman, Retardeen is president, Alams, Dariye, etc were governor already so Akpabio is still a learner 1 Like |

I laugh in Efik. "The video was doctored"? Can Olisa Metuh identify a doctored video if he sees one? The governor in question has not come out to deny rigging that election... But it is YOU, Olisa Metuh, that can categorically tell Nigerians what EXACTLY happened in 2007? Were you present at the senatorial primary? These guys have really taken us as fools. |
