‘Akpabio Was Never a Candidate for Senatorial Election’

Senatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Akwa Ibom North West (Ikot Ekpene) Senatorial District of Akwa Ibom State, Inibehe Okori has dropped a 2,000 page evidence before the election tribunal that Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) didn’t conduct the senatorial election in the district.

Okori also added that Godswill Akpabi was never a candidate for senatorial election.

Okori while speaking in an interview said “There was no election as you are all aware. If there were no elections, what is expected is that you should prove that there were no elections.

“We have put before the tribunal sufficient evidence to show that there were no elections in Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District. From the result sheets which we have gotten all the Certified True Copies, to electronic videos and footages of what transpired in homes of PDP members across the ten local government areas in the senatorial district and to pictorials of events that took place on election day.

“The agents’ testimonies are also included. So basically, we are asking that the election should be nullified and am calling for a fresh election. Again, we are saying that by virtue of non-compliance with the Electoral Act by the PDP, who had no candidate for Akwa Ibom North West Senatorial District, I didn’t do that, it was the PDP that did that; Godswill Akpabio was never a candidate for the election.”
