Akpabio was declared winner of a senatorial primary election conducted on Thursday.
The Akwa Ibom State APC Chairman, Stephen Ntukekpo, had said he was directed by the ruling party’s national body to conduct a re-run over alleged infractions.
Then results from the fresh primary said Akapbio emerged winner with 478 votes, while DIG Ekpo Udom (rtd), who won the first primary, secured just three votes.
But the Resident Electoral Commissioner of INEC in Akwa Ibom State, Mr Mike Igini, told Daily Trust that INEC would only recognise the winner of the primaries monitored by the commission.
He said that INEC did not monitor the re-run APC senatorial primaries, that saw Akpabio emerged winner.
“The primaries were concluded on the 27 of May, so I don’t know what you are talking about. The one that was conducted was monitored by INEC and the report has been submitted to Abuja.
“INEC is not aware of any senatorial primaries conducted on Thursday (June 9) that was monitored by INEC, none,” he stated.
The REC also affirmed that the APC has no governorship candidate in the state.

ReplyDeleteEwoooooo, let the betraying you begin. You never che anything, shebi you carried your mumuself and stepped down for a South Westerner, when your brother a fellow South Southerner was in the race 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Efcc go soon show ya side no worry.
ReplyDeleteWaiting patiently for how this will eventually play out
ReplyDeleteDo they ever learn? We call them aboki but the illiterate Northerners have the educated Southerners on a leash. They make the best of Southern politicians look like fools. Umahi is next.
ReplyDeleteAtleast that one used his brother
DeleteThis music go sweet. Our dancing shoes are ready.
ReplyDeleteJust imagine. How do these people reason? When they were conducting primaries for the senate he was a Presidential candidate and when that one did not materialize, he rushed home to use his financial muscle to push away his fellow man who had struggled to secure the ticket. I ask you Akpabio, you stepped down for Tinubu tor reasons best known to you. Go and serve in his campaign train and respect the results of the primaries conducted by INEC. By the way, are you the only person in your state? Only you Commissioner, Governor, Senator, Minister. You no dey rest?
ReplyDeleteI tire o!
DeleteUmahi's saving grace is that he used his younger brother, if not by now the disgrace would have too much for him to bear.
ReplyDeleteAkpabio you think you can watch your cake and have it. Oga face one side
ReplyDeleteThen results from the fresh primary said Akapbio emerged winner with 478 votes, while DIG Ekpo Udom (rtd), who won the first primary, secured just three votes.
ReplyDeleteThe same way he produced like 1.2 million votes in Akwa Ibom for GEJ , votes that have since disappeared since INEC sat up with PVC monitoring.
Baba, you too rig abeg.
