President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday alleged that the votes of the people of Akwa Ibom State were stolen during the recent presidential and National Assembly elections, vowing that they would be reclaimed through proper channebookSpeaking yesterday through the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, at a town hall meeting held by the elders and stakeholders of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Uyo, the state capital, the president called on the electorate in the state to defend their votes during Saturday’s governorship and State Assembly elections in the state.


Buhari said it was doubtful that the former Senate Minority Leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio lost the election, alleging that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) robbed Akpabio and the APC of victory at the polls.


He maintained that all the wrongs done during the presidential and National Assembly elections would be addressed through proper channel.
“What happened on February 23 was robbery. The votes of the people were stolen but we are not deterred. The president sent me to thank you today. We are going to make sure that everything that was stolen on the February 23 would be restored.


“It is not possible that Senator Godswill Akpabio lost. We are in no doubt that Senator Akpabio is the elected senator of Akwa Ibom North West senatorial district. I and Adams Oshiomhole, the National Chairman of the party have been in the opposition for long and we cannot be defeated anymore. “Everyone of you should go out to vote on Saturday and defend your votes; we cannot be cheated; not only you but tell your neighbours to vote for Obong Nsima Ekere and all APC candidates. Wait for your votes to be counted. It is the duty of the federal government to provide security and we will do that. We will recover every one of our votes.


Also speaking, Oshiomhole said the party was not in the state to lament but to thank the people of the state for doing their jobs and voting President Buhari.


He alleged that INEC colluded with some of the electoral officers to deny the state of its electoral victory on February 23, even though he claimed that the people voted for the party.

“We have not come here to brag that our mandate was stolen last week. We have come to thank you that you voted for President Buhari, and all members of the party. You did your job but some armed robbers in INEC stole your votes. “You think that those who stole your votes will have peace? We have come to reaffirm our commitment with democracy. We have come to affirm that no robber will go unpunished but when an electoral umpire is corrupt and collude with the opposition, we have the witnesses and we have lawyers to deal with that.
“On Saturday we are not going to wait for them to steal out votes. We call on Akwa Ibom people to protect their votes. We must maintain our sanity even in this hour of provocation. Those who committed democratic abortion would be brought to book,” he said. In his speech, the APC governorship candidate in the state, Nsima Ekere encouraged the people not to be deterred by the February 23 elections but to go out and vote during the March 9 elections, saying the party is sure of victory.
He said the people of the state were in need of change and proved it during his campaigns across the 31 Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the state.
Ekere assured the president that after March 9 elections, the state would not be in the opposition but would be reunited with the centre
“Thank you for what you are doing for APC. The people voted for you; that vote is a revalidation of what the people want. You put Nigeria’s economy back on track.


“We are here because we have faith in you and Mr. President. The opposition and INEC have no choice than to give us back our mandate. Whosoever shall attempt to work against the collective will of Akwa Ibom people, we shall collectively resist.
“We send a message to the electoral umpire and the other party that they must respect the votes of the people, every vote must count. Akwa Ibom people love APC”.

it means they Robb saraki too these should forget nonsense and concentrate...if akpabio is aggrieved he should go to court

SimplePlan34:
APC wants all the oil producing states from rivers to akwa ibom to delta by stolen mandate. Nigeria is finished. But I tell u Akpabio will win d senate seat just watch. We are now in full dictatorship. D rule of law has been set aside.

oga go and sleep akpabio case has been settled...

gratiaeo:
Governor awarded contract to a deputy governor he swallow the money, what did the Governor?

He went ahead to impeach him,after enough negotiations he resigned.

allisso:
yes Akpabio is coming to the Senate in your father's living room if he has one

keep quite hater. are you from Akwa Ibom. If you're not then dont argue with me.

Evercurious:
HYPOCRITE

FARM TOOL!!

OKorowanta:
Forget PDP APC arguments, Akpabio was clearly robbed.
Somebody said they weren't up to 150 in his polling unit but INEC announced over a thousand votes for PDP.
Only a few people knew Ekpenyong was contesting.
He didn't even campaign and was only drafted to fill the void.
Akpabio get him own for body but dat guy still cannot win him if not for INEC...
Its better to conclude PDP outsmarted the opposition.

meaning saraki was Robb too then....

That Nigeria would degenerate to this is sooo heart breaking Tribal sentiments and pride over rigging . Sounds more like a zoo, than a country of sound , logical minds. What a shame

udemzyudex:
Akpabio embezzled 100 billion

Where is your prove?? If he did your glorified so called Governor is an accessory to theft.

jaytee01:
Rubbish.....Can you honestly say that what Chris Ekpenyong stole is up to one percent of what Akpabio stole from the Akwa Ibom people alongside his family and cronies. Continue advertising your foolishness here but the election is over.

As for Osinbanjo, he is a disgrace. Which electoral robbery even comes close to what he and the Lifeless Dullard inflicted on the Nigerian people?

You were born out of iniquity that's y you will never see anything good. Where was Akwa Ibom state before Akpabio brought us to limelight. You are a bigger disgrace to your family if you think Osibanjo is one. Get lost crack addict.

R2bees:
Says someone who robbed Nigerians.... Mark my word you will meet your Waterloo before your tenure ends..

oro riru menu asiwerey

ekmike:
it's simple , they don't want Akpabio there any more

Bro they want him, even we in uyo senatorial district want him.

Height of hypocritical statement. Just face your campaign and go to court if aggrieved mbuk presidency

kristisking:
People like you are the ones selling their destiny to the north out of selfish interest. No wonder the north is laying claims to the oil deposit in your backyard.

Its people like you hat sell your destiny to thief's and looters. Come to my state I will show you 200 millionaires that are still extending their goodwill and empowerment to the populance. who made them all?? Then talkless of him being a Senate President or Deputy.

SenatePresdo:
The credibility of Chris Ekpeyong should not be much of concern here. All the top politicians in Nigeria are guilty of embezzlement, I am not exegerating.

The issue is that the Buhari Apc led government is saying that Akpabio's mandate was stolen in a PDP stronghold, when they (Apc) are the biggest thief by stealing Atiku's mandate.

I am not saying they shouldn't look into Akpabio's matter, but if they wants to, let them start with the Atiku's mandate and be very fair with handling it.

APC is a disgrace of a party, they just care about themselves without even considering the people that votes for them.

All am asking you is who is a better representative to Akwa Ibom as a State? Dont come here and spew your fallacious epistle in order to deceive gullible followers. Little wonder PDP won elections here on Nairaland. Moreover r you from Akwa Ibom?

As a true son of Akwa Ibom, I like Akpabio no doubt, he is one I look as a mentor politically, but you see as in the game of chess once you take the wrong move, you loose your position.

Akpabio made a wrong move by leaving the PDP and not only leaving, he was boastful as if he was God, if you follow the political terrain in Akwa Ibom, they don't follow any how people but they are mostly very loyal to their party and the leadership at the top. forget it, Akwa Ibom is PDP and not even the love that most of us have about Akpabio can change that.

thank you

So Akpabio is no longer a looting thief!,but now such an important saint that buhari/Apc are crying over his electoral loss!,mtuhaaah.

I wasn't arguing about who the better candidate is, you are talking another thing.
Akpabio may be a better candidate I don't know.

All I am saying is that if they actually stole his mandate like alleged and wants to look into it, they should start by looking into the presidential election.
it's shouldn't be only Apkpabio's case they should look into, its not fair.
I am talking about fairness and you are talking about better candidate.
BTW, I am not from Akwa ibom neither do I live there so it is not sensible to indulge you on who the better candidate is.

hush15:
By the grace of almighty God, he will. Amen.

Can you imagine this donkey we call a president saying such stupid trash. How God has allowed the wicked to prevail still eludes me but i still haven't lost faith in that God that retribution will come.

If we are to play that game, can u honestly say that Chris ekpeyong did up to 0.001% of what Akpabio did?

but the same INEC didn't rob PDP, Atiku of victory right?
When they talk, they just talk like we the youth don't know anything, like we are irrelevant.
Anyway i thank God that knowledge wisdom and understanding is God's doing and not man-made otherwise... Some humans will play some humans like ball and also play with some humans like they are dolls.
Well as for That traitor Akpabio, he got what he deserves, am sure he thought victory was sure, i even read how he was bragging that he can nevee lose election, God has humbled him now, at lease he contested under the APC ruling party that used both the army and inec but still couldn't win.
That's what happens when a coward betray his true friends and vision for wrong and misplaced loyalty just to stay relevant in power, the APC even betrayed him self, they used him as scape goat and now they just needed to give a statement just to cover up for the mumu loss.

JOMAX:
POT calling KETTLE black to confuse the plates in the kitchen

But your excellency sir Buhari i thought the APC and international observers called the election free and fair credible election.
Why this conspiracy theory view again against your own highly rated INEC.
Sir you are a Hypocrite
Buhari has lost his integrity and good reputation just to remain in power. Its so easy to be useless.
