A former Secretary to the Akwa Ibom State Government, Mr. Etekamba Umoren, has said he is confident that Senator Godswill Akpabio will reclaim his mandate at the election tribunal.
Umoren, who was
SSG during the governorship tenure of Akpabio, said yesterday in Uyo
that evidence abound to prove that the former minority leader of the
Senate won the senatorial seat for Akwa Ibom North West senatorial
district at the National Assembly elections.
He said results
collated from the field showed that Akpabio won in the 11 wards in
Essien Udim Local Government Area, but election results were cancelled
in the places where the APC won.
He alleged that INEC
officials declared the results in favour of the PDP candidate, Mr
Christopher Ekpenyong, adding that the tribunal would prove that Akpabio
won, and not Ekpenyong.
“APC candidates won at the
fields and collation centres but lost in the process of declaring the
results by INEC officials; this is unacceptable to us. We have all the
evidence and I want to assure you that Senator Akpabio will reclaim his
mandate at the tribunal,” he said.
