APC wins in Akpabio's LGA

Usoro Ntiedo Effiong, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has been declared the winner of the October 5 Local Government Elections in Essien Udim LGA, Akwa Ibom State.

This victory is significant as Essien Udim is the home of Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio. Effiong’s win further strengthens the APC’s presence in the area.

Akpabio's home local government area won by APC while the state as a whole is won by PDP.

This is politics

Shadomaan7:
PDP won 30 out of 31 seats, that should be at least 90% of the election..

Congratulations to them

They left Akpabio’s local government so as not to completely disgrace him.

Anyway, until INEC is permitted to hold local government elections, ruling parties and governors in the respective ways will continue to have their ways. The victory is never real and will nearly always amount to nothing when state and federal elections are held.

This is just like the Rivers case where Fubara used APP to win the elections last Saturday, without the presence of PDP and APC. Although he could not have proceeded with APP is PDP did not approve it. In the state elections, he will face the major battle if he does not focus on governance more that’s his battles with Mr. Wike.

Are ministers and commissioners not selected? We move
