Akwa Ibom Elections: See APC/Umana Umana's Reaction To Supreme Court Ruling by Zurielistic: 8:59pm On Feb 04, 2016
– Akwa Ibom APC gubernatorial candidate
in April 2015 polls, Mr. Umana Umana,
lambastes legal system for alleged election
irregularities

– Urges Akwa Ibom people to continue to
pray for much-desired change in the state
and nation Mr. Umana Umana, the All Progressives
Congress governorship candidate in Akwa
Ibom has revealed that Udom Emmanuel’s
victory in the last gubernatorial elections of
April, 2015 is questionable but he trusts in
God to provide solace and comfort for the
people marginalized by the Nigerian legal
system.


Umana held that the Supreme Court judgment which
presented Udom Emmanuel as a rightfully
elected governor of the state in the April,
11, 2015 polls “calls for very serious soul-
searching by our nation”.


In a press statement on Thursday, February
4, Mr. Umana said the Court of Appeal
issued an indicting statement in respect to
the Akwa Ibom governorship election
petition, a statement that must not be
overlooked.


Quoting the appeal court statement in
respect to Mr. Udom Emmanuel’s election,
Mr. Umana said: “May this country never
again experience the violence and thuggery
found to have taken place in Akwa Ibom
State during the Governorship elections
held on 11th April 2015.


Mr. Umana added that following the
incidence of election irregularity in the
governorship poll, the people went to court
for justice but were let down by an unfair
legal system.


He said: “As law-abiding citizens we went to
court to seek justice after the disputed
elections, as advised by many people and
election monitors, including the United
States Embassy and the European Union,
which had reached independent
conclusions that the elections were marred
by widespread irregularities.


“Our hope was that the judiciary would heal
the wounds and provide succour for our
people who were traumatised and
brutalised during the elections, especially
the families who lost their loved ones. But
that was not to be.”


Mr. Umana expressed confidence in the
people particularly the supporters of the
APC in Akwa Ibom saying even though the
movement for change had been impeded in
the state, it will eventually come.
He was optimistic, adding that “no one can
stop the march of an idea that has been
embraced by the mass of the people”.
He urged the people of Akwa Ibom to
remain peaceful and prayerful for the
progress of the state and the nation in
general.


He added: “We trust God, who is the God of
justice, to provide solace and comfort for
those who could not get justice within the
framework of our legal system.
“Ultimately we would all be accountable to
God for our actions.”

We are in an era where the rulers in power is so clueless and stingy that they are still acting the role of opposition and blame games rather than leaving it to the opposition.
