*PRESS RELEASE*

*RE: ATTACK ON INEC BUSES IN OBOT AKARA LGA BY SUSPECTED APC HOODLUMS*

We wish to draw the attention of the international community, civil right agencies and the general public to the continuous resort to violence by the All Progressives Congress, APC in an apparent attempt to paint a crisis scenario in Akwa Ibom State.

Specifically, we condemn in strong terms, the attack carried out on buses hired by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC for electoral duties, and on some persons in Obot Akara local government area. According to our findings, the ridiculous action was allegedly carried out by suspected APC thugs who wanted to truncate the smooth conduct of the election in the area. This, action corroborates our earlier disclosure that the APC plans to sponsor violent criminal operations that could enable its poorly orchestrated script for postponing the elections in Akwa Ibom State.

Let us sound it loud and clear that Obot Akara a PDP enclave, is home of the former deputy Governor and senatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Dr. Chris Ekpenyong, the Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Sir Monday Ebong Uko as well as the Dean of the College of Personal Aides of the Governor, Elder Ufot Ebong, among others. This, in addition to the new roads and bridges built by the current administration of His Excellency Mr. Udom Emmanuel to reconnect the area with other parts of the state, cement the area as a stronghold of the PDP.

It is unfortunate that despite the repeated outcry against the threats to violence by leaders of the state’s opposition party, no significant action has been seen to be taken against such threats.

For example, the Caucus leader of the APC in Akwa Ibom on three different occasions in between August and September last year, threatened to unleash Warsaw in Akwa Ibom in a manner akin to the invasion of Poland by notorious German despot, Adolf Hitler. He made those boasts in a church, the town square and in his residence respectively, and the video clips are still available. As if not satisfied with that, Senator Godswill Akpabio went ahead to threaten that he will capture the state under three hours.

The Divine Mandate Campaign Organization wishes to echo for the umpteenth time that election is not war, and as such every attempt by the All Progressives Congress and its so-called Warsaw agents to instigate crises in the state, is hereby hugely condemned. We therefore call on security agents to fish out perpetrators of the dastardly act, and ensure that justice is not only done, but seen as being done.
We wish to conclude by reiterating the call by our leader and Governor, His Excellency Udom Emmanuel, that election will come and go, but the bond of unity in the state, should not be severed on the altar of politics.

Signed,
Otuekong Emmanuel Ibiok
Director, Public Communications

Big grammar

God punish Akpabio. Akwa Ibom was peaceful until Akpabio brought in APC.

APC the blood sucking party. They don't like peace at all. Its their way or the highway, but God will put them to shame. The lives of these innocent people killed today will not be in vain.

*Nigeria's 20-year uninterrupted democracy is under grave danger!
*The desperation of the APC to remain in power will become crystal clear in the days to come.
*What led to the collapse of the 2nd republic is gradually playing out under the supervision of the same man who truncated it.
*Statements like "nobody will unseat me" is deep. If you know you know.

Ok

Its time for the blame game. Just a week more o, they will tier each other apart.

Which one is Aka ibom??

PDP is hopeless walahi.

This is too much, the propaganda is just too much for any sane human to believe.

APC this APC that, APC in the morning APC in the night, meanwhile the APC has been keeping mum.

First to complain

Why PDP always attack APC, without proper investigation

AKA IBOM?

Y'all now believe APC is behind this because of one drunk man's opinion?.

For all I care, PDP could've done it to gain apathy.

Note: not everything you see on the internet is true

God bless Udom

Akpabio is just too desperate

Always crying and pointing fingers without any ounce of prove. We shall send these PDP back irrelevancy after the election.

pls akwa ibom be peaceful, for the sake of innocent Nigerians and also we the adhoc staff conducting the election.

last week gunmen were shooting sporadically at the present govnor's town Awa.

A former Governor and a sitting Senator that wants his people dead need to be in JAIL.

So they need to do a letter to carry out this move. Please let use our brain. It is there for something.

If u re still doubting who is responsible.

Check AKWA IBOM before Akpabio decamped to APC.

This warsaw threats that he made is enough to warrant an arrest but alas No

All because he is in d ruling party.

God will judge us all.

APC and violence

How can a political party derive joy from the shedding of the blood of the same people it wants to govern!

If they are not threatening "dog and baboon soaking in blood"

They will be threatening people ending up in "Body bags"

Or term election as "war"

Or gloat about being "Hitler"

How can a political party be this blood thirsty!

Udom came to akwa ibom and the first thing he did was the dakada propaganda, that we should rise up.
Whom has he been able to help stand ?

Compare to Akpabio, that it was Akwa ibom Ayaiya, everyone in nigeria knew and saw it that Akwa ibom was beautiful.

During the Election, Udom paid Meflyn his media aid, millions to get akwa ibomites on facebook abd twitter to litter the whole place with propaganda, i was one of those they wanted to recruit, but i have higher standard in life.

Now after being caught pants down, their propaganda machine is quick to push it on Akpabio.

Truth is, in Akwa ibom state, even if on the very day of election Godswill obot Akpabio chooses to leave APC, creates a new party, and runs under it, he will still win Chris Ekpenyon.
This is because as Gov, he turned the whole annang nation, from an area of red mud and bad roads, to a small london. An assesment if Ikot Ekpene before and after will convince anyone
As Senator he bout 100s of buses 100s of Keke, thousands of generators, sewing machine, etc and empowered the people of his senatorial district...
The only senator in Nigeria to go that far for the people he serve.
Obot Akara is in annang Nation, a region he controls.
Not by power, but by loyalty.
So its just shamefull seeing ignorant people wailing unnecesarily

so they have a Dean in the college of personal assistant, Under the university of executive recklessness. Very interesting!

These are PDP political thugs arrested by the police in Obot Akara Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom state on the eve of the rescheduled presidential election. They set ablaze five vehicles at the INEC office in the local council. Upon interrogation, they indicted two members of the State Executive Council and a member of the House of Assembly, as their sponsors.
