Group Raises Alarm Over Alleged Plot By Akpabio, APC To Substitute Candidate by Blogsphere: 7:57pm On Dec 10, 2019 |
GROUP RAISES ALARM OVER ALLEGED PLOT BY AKPABIO, APC TO SUBSTITUTE CANDIDATE AHEAD OF ESSIEN UDIM RE-RUN A foremost socio- political group, Akwa Ibom Liberation Movement, AILM, ha raised alarm over a plot by the minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio and the All Progressives Congress, in Akwa Ibom to substitute his name for another candidate ahead of the re- run election in Essien Udim Local Government Area. The group made this known during a press briefing on Tuesday 10th December, held at its secretariat in, Uyo. The group's Secretary General, Solomon Abasiekong Esq said the APC is hurriedly planning to use the court to substitute Senator Akpabio for Obong Luke Ekperikpe Ekpo, a former member of the House of Representatives. Ekpo represented Abak/Etim Ekpo/Ika federal constituency and was an aspirant for the Akwa Ibom North West senatorial ticket on the platform of the APC in 2018. Abasiekong said:- "following recent announcement by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, that it will conduct court-ordered re-run elections including the Akwa Ibom North West Senatorial district election in Essien Udim on January 25, 2020, the the minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio and chieftains of All Progressives Congress, APC are planning to substitute his name for another ahead of the re- run election in Essien Udim Local Government Area". "The obnoxious move by the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs is the height of impunity, abuse of office and blatant lawlessness for which INEC should distance itself from. Akpabio was the candidate fielded by the APC and he must stand for the court ordered re- run election. It is illegal to substitute a candidate’s name from an election after such a candidate had stood for an election and was roundly defeated. The group calls on INEC to resist the antics by the APC. cc: lalasticlala, seun, mynd44 |
