Osagyefo98:
Young man before you contest any legislative post as a minister, you must step down.

That's the fact....is not arguable.

Akpabio must step aside from Nddc ministry to re-contest again.

That's the law.

Osagyefo98:
Ekpeyong will still win.
Akpabio hold your ministerial position tight ooo before you lose both ends.

Now this is serious.

Akpabio will have to step down as minister to contest and what if loses by then the position won't be for him again because Buhari won't give him another chance.

Same reason Timpre Sylva refused to contest Bayelsa governorship election because he might lose at both ends.

Ngige refuses to contest the second time when court nullified his election for fear of losing at both ends.

This Judgement is a heavy burden for Akpabio. Let his advisers advice him well on this.

Akpabio to contest for senate again as appeal court orders rerun

The court of appeal sitting in Calabar, Cross River state, has ordered a rerun election in Akwa Ibom north-west senatorial district where Godswill Akpabio took on Chris Ekpeyong, a former deputy governor of the state, in February.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Ekpeyong, who contested under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), winner of the election but Akapbio filed a petition against his victory at the tribunal.

He had asked the tribunal to set aside Ekpenyong’s election, alleging that it was marred by irregularities.

But describing the petition as “lacking in merit”, the tribunal said the petitioner failed to prove that he won the election as well as failed to present convincing evidence of non-compliance with electoral act as raised in his petition.

Dissatisfied with the verdict of the tribunal, he headed to the appellate court.

In its ruling on Saturday, the court ordered a rerun election in Essien Udim local government, where Akpabio hails from.

The court ruled that the rerun should hold within 90 days.

Akpabio, a two-term governor of Akwa Ibom, is the now minister of Niger Delta affairs.
