Gov. Akpabio Tags The Lone ACN House Of Assb. Member Elect In Akwa-Ibom A Virus by Obiagu1(m): 12:23pm On May 21, 2011 |
Mr. Edwin Joseph, the only candidate of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) who successfully emerged House member-elect at the April 26th state House of Assembly election in Akwa Ibom state has been described as a virus by the state governor, Chief Godswill Akpabio of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Akpabio who doubles as the governor-elect made the declaration at a reception ceremony organized by his governorship campaign organization after collecting his return certificate as the governor-elect during the week. Akpabio stated that the PDP will file a petition at the election petition tribunal seeking to upturn the election of the ACN lone candidate in the House. [size=15pt]“And for the one seat out of the 26 seats in the state House won by an ACN man, we will challenge it at the tribunal, you shook my hand but I shook your hands with half hand because I don’t know how you came in, you are a virus in the House. Yes, Lagos is an ACN state and all the Lagos state House members are ACN members so I don’t see why you should come into Akwa Ibom State House,” he stated.[/size] According to Akpabio, the ACN won elections in Uyo federal and state constituency because the elections were rigged in their favour, even as the electorates especially the non-indigenes did not come out to vote for fear of being victimized, as adequate security was not guaranteed. “That was why we lost elections in Uyo. My victory was overwhelming, even if I contest elections ten times over, I will still win,” Akpabio boasted. In a related development, the ACN in the state has vowed to recover the electoral mandate purportedly stolen from them by an alleged conspiratorial alliance between INEC in the state and the PDP during the April 26th elections in the state. ACN’s position was contained was contained in a press statement issued by the party in the state. The press statement, which was signed by Dr. Amadu Attai and Barr. Andem Ndem, Acting State Chairman and Legal Adviser of the party respectively, stated that party had filed its governorship election petition as well as several Houses of Assembly petitions at the requisite election petition tribunal in the state. According to it, the best election petition Senior Advocates of Nigeria, (SAN) which include; Mr. Kola Awodein, Chief Niyi Akintola and Prof. Yemi Osinbajo had crafted and filed the petition on May 16th and 17th respectively. “This development will put paid to the speculative propaganda by the PDP that we have accepted the result of the elections and congratulated Governor Akpabio. “We are convinced beyond doubts that this petition will change the political landscape of Akwa Ibom state for good. This party has done it in Ekiti, Edo, Osun, Delta and Akwa Ibom shall not be an exception,” the statement added. |

The virus better be careful before Akpabio murders him just like he murdered the CAN chieftain in Akwa-Ibom |

Gov. Akpabio does not like ACN. You would think he is an Igbo man, but the man is Ibibio. |

You missed the sarcasm! KnowAll: ekt_bear: Now he doesn't like ACN and now uses Lagos as a reason why no member of the HA in Akwa Ibom should be from ACN. Wasn't this the same guy Tribune gave an award, and came down to Ibadan all smiles. He is a Baboon, pure and simple !!! He is going to rubbish Akwa Ibom during this last tenure because he has the mental attidue of a cretin!!! EzeUche_: |

koruji: Have you ever been to Akwa Ibom state? The state is one of the most developed states in Nigeria. The infrastructure developments in the state are better than what is occurring in Lagos. He is just temperamental when it comes to politics. |

He is correct, what is ACN doing in our zone? They have Lagos which they treat as their personal property, why should we allow them in our zone? They are a virus. Most of the posters on this thread are not from the area and can't understand why "the natives" don't want to be colonized. |
Re: Gov. Akpabio Tags The Lone ACN House Of Assb. Member Elect In Akwa-Ibom A Virus by Calculia: 4:12pm On May 21, 2011 |
ACN has no future in the south south or south-eastern zone of Nigeria. The party stinks of ethnocentric vulgar and judging by its recent electoral performance it is a yoruba tribal party. We don't want it anywhere in our backyard. |

Never being to Akwa Ibom, but met Akwa Ibomites in my NYSC year in Owerri - good memories. The reason he got the award from Tribune was precisely in recognition of his work in Akwa Ibom state. Did he say to himself that this award was being given by the SW and throw it back, instead of, I am almost sure, proudly displaying it in his office. The fact is that he, like many Nigerian politicians are educated or even brilliant, but remain unelightened. The entire point is that if someone was voted in a free-and-fair election, all sides must learn to recognize the supremacy of the people's vote. How can he declare a person from his state a virus because he got elected on a different political platform? It shows an unwarranted level of hate in him. Are they not supposed to be working towards the same end of bettering the lot of their people. Akpabio and PDP had the ACN governorship candidate jailed just b/4 the election, an ACN member had already being assassinated, and now he is refering to a human being as a virus - we know what follows the declaration that something is a virus. Akpabio needs to thread carefully because power is indeed temporary, and he might one day be called upon to answer for the violence visited on ACN members under his watch. EzeUche_: |

Ezeuche, I was in Akwa Ibom for a wedding very recently and the developments there can not be compared in any way to what is happening in Surulere talkless of the whole of Lagos, please do not swallow the propaganda, the former governor did far more than this Akpabio of a guy, always verify your facts first. |
Re: Gov. Akpabio Tags The Lone ACN House Of Assb. Member Elect In Akwa-Ibom A Virus by hercules07: 4:17pm On May 21, 2011 |
Ezeuche says the guy is temperamental, he is more than that, he is a killer, one of the guys running against him had his wife kidnapped and violated by his boys, that man is seriously mental I tell you. |

koruji: End of story, really. |
Re: Gov. Akpabio Tags The Lone ACN House Of Assb. Member Elect In Akwa-Ibom A Virus by koruji(m): 4:24pm On May 21, 2011 |
You would think by the way you people are talking that the ACN candidates we are talking about are Yorubas - we are talking about Akwa Ibomites people. You are simply PDP agents pretending to defend Akwa Ibom people. When Akwa Ibomites went to the poll and elected an ACN candidate, that should be the end of the matter. Kapish. If a PDP person wins a free and fair election in Lagos nobody should refer to him/her as a virus - and if someone does then such a person is a Baboon too!!! PDP candidates won elections in many ACN controlled states. Ondo is still under LP's control. The issue is not about the party per se, it is who/what people want. The party is just a way to give people multiple choices in an election. So, you PDP agents of doom just need to stop using the blood of our people West, East, North or South to protect your incompetence. Your pretentious days are numbered. Calculia: Calculia: |

When I went to Uyo, no other politician was allowed a bill board, the ACN one I saw was draped on the ACN guy's house, if not for Attah's greed and stubborn nature, Akwa Ibom would not have been saddled with him. |

Mynd_44: Different ke ? This is the same wicked person who tacitly endorsed the evil treatment being meted out to the so-called "witch children" until pressure , home and abroad , became too much to ignore. Anyone who can support the punishment of innocent children is a neanderthal IMO. http://thewillnigeria.com/opinion/5942-GOVERNOR-AKPABIOS-WAR-AGAINST-CHILDREN.html GOVERNOR AKPABIO’S WAR AGAINST CHILDREN |

My mum use to use that word a lot " educated illiterate" it is now I know how one looks like. Akpabio is quintessentially one without a doubt. |
Re: Gov. Akpabio Tags The Lone ACN House Of Assb. Member Elect In Akwa-Ibom A Virus by Obiagu1(m): 9:24pm On May 21, 2011 |
Dis Guy: The masses hate to see ACN on the ground in the SE/SS but our greedy politicians will try to bring it here. It's a virus that needs to be checked. Violence and thuggery seems to be embedded in the party. |
Re: Gov. Akpabio Tags The Lone ACN House Of Assb. Member Elect In Akwa-Ibom A Virus by DisGuy: 9:36pm On May 21, 2011 |
Obiagu1: the only people that hate to see other parties winning an election in their neighbourhood are the political thugs! The masses voted for Ngige or the majority of them and they voted for this particular member in their constituency Violence and thuggery as shown in the Imo election were perpetuated by ACN members uh? or those in Bayelsa were amongst their members? |
Re: Gov. Akpabio Tags The Lone ACN House Of Assb. Member Elect In Akwa-Ibom A Virus by Obiagu1(m): 9:41pm On May 21, 2011 |
Dis Guy: There's always thuggery and violence in Nigerian elections but none compares to the one we witnessed from ACN in Akwa-Ibom State in the whole of SE/SS. Completely unprecedented. |
Re: Gov. Akpabio Tags The Lone ACN House Of Assb. Member Elect In Akwa-Ibom A Virus by shotster50(m): 11:58pm On May 21, 2011 |
So the Governor's idea of true democracy , is to have a one party House of Assembly?! Only in Nigeria! |
