The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Akwa Ibom yesterday called on security agencies to arrest the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Obong Nsima Ekere and Senator Godswill Akpabio for alleged electoral offences.

It alleged that Ekere and Akpabio committed the offences during the Governorship and House of Assembly elections last Saturday.

PDP spokesman Ini Ememobong made the call at a news conference at the party secretariat on Four Lane, Uyo.

He said: “We were shocked yesterday by the press statement issued by the state Chairman of the broom-wielding party, Ini Okopido, and the subsequent press conference hosted by the duo of Obong Nsima Ekere and Godswill Akpabio alleging that they won in 26 local government areas of the state.

“This is surely the best example of living in fool’s paradise. We must state that the APC lost in all the local government areas, including Essien Udim and Ikot Abasi local government areas.

“In Essien Udim, materials in Ekpeyong Ward were hijacked by APC agents at the voting units in Independence High School, thugs and policemen sympathetic to Senator Akpabio mounted the gates and prevented PDP supporters from gaining access to the venue.

“The thugs further unleashed physical attack on a reporter (names withheld) who was there to cover the elections. He was severely beaten up and chased away.”

The PDP alleged that an aide to the senator was accompanied by scores of policemen and thugs to disrupt the elections on Saturday.

Ememobong went on: “As if that was not enough, the INEC office in the local government area was (allegedly) kept under siege by the senator.”

According to the PDP spokesman, result sheets were filled and forced on presiding officers to sign.

“These facts are alive and at the tribunal, we will avail the court,” he stated, adding: “The entire world noted the delay it took for Essien Udim to collate and transmit results, all because of Senator Akpabio’s unwholesome interference.

“In Ikot Abasi Local Government Area, APC thugs were on the rampage, carting away electoral materials and personnel and taking them to Ekere’s residence, where thumb printing was done.

“Even in Nsima Ekere’s Unit, pictorial evidence abound to show armed soldiers arranging the voting queue to ensure that PDP supporters did not vote.


“In units 2, 6 and other units in Ward 7, thugs led by Ernest Ntuk hijacked ballot boxes and electoral personnel, delivering them at the residence of Ekere.

“We therefore call for the arrest of Godswill Akpabio and Nsima Ekere for the numerous electoral and criminal offences committed by them in the course of these elections.

“The rule of law makes all men equal before the law.”

It's Gameover for Akpabio political career.

Buhari got this country to zero. No wonder Fela Kuti said he's a "Craze man"

E don reach like that?

I concur.

I'm from Akwa Ibom and the terror the duo unleashed on our poeple was crazy.

PDP n arrest...... as una win now, it is free n fair

Enough please! Okpabio has suffered and still in shock

A "pastor" was in Akwa Ibom state saying Akpabio won and was rigged out. Still yet some people still support such as person, it's such a pity. I will rather prefer ABUBAKAR SHEKAU preach to me than attend a church pastored by Osibanjo.

please have pity on Akpabio a bit

The should just forget and face the fact that they've won!
I am even pleased it did not go the usual (Inconclusive). The greedy ones want every state APC.

Anything for Democracy(the Voice of the Common People) !

In as much it's for the survival of our Democracy and the Poor Masses, let the trial start ASAP.

. PDP want APC to use their hand punish their own person .....

Ok

Warsaw senator saw war and was conquered!

Akpabio is a goner..

How much does an average website cost?

This got me cracked up....calling the party name is like a taboo in akwa ibom state

He said: “We were shocked yesterday by the press statement issued by the state Chairman of the broom-wielding party, Ini Okopido, ...

The way Akpabio makes reference to God the untrained eyes will think he has an ounce of spirituality in him.

election in Nigeria needs attention

am in support

“This is surely the best example of living in fool’s paradise.
