The National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has alleged that Senator Godswill Akpabio was rigged out of the senatorial election in Akwa Ibom state.
Akpabio
of the APC lost his senatorial seat to Christopher Ekpenyong of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in last Saturday’s National Assembly
election.
He also said that Atiku was never destined to be the President of Nigeria
Oshiomhole,
who reacted to Atiku’s press conference on the outcome of last
Saturday’s presidential election, said his party will challenge the
results of some National Assembly elections declared by the Independent
National Electoral Commission.
“We have petitions that we have
written to INEC – how we were rigged out in Akwa-Ibom State and it is
interesting that it is PDP that is complaining about the outcome of
election in Akwa-Ibom state.
“How do you explain that INEC
cancelled so many units not only in Akwa Ibom state, so many other
states in order to be able to declare PDP candidates as winners. That is
how Senator Akpabio was rigged out in Akwa Ibom state,” he said.
Oshiomhole,
who maintained the earlier stand of the APC that INEC was working for
the PDP, said, “whether INEC helped PDP or APC, that is neither here or
there.
“I also mentioned that if Atiku decides to go to court, I
also reserve the right to file cross petition because there are also
areas in my local government for example, 15 units were cancelled due to
the carelessness or collaboration or mischief of an Electoral Officer
that was deployed to my local government knowing that, that is my
stronghold.
