POLITICS: Akpabio: God Will Soon Expose Those Who Rigged Me Out Of Senate
Godswill Akpabio, senator who represented Akwa Ibom north-west district in
the 8th assembly, says God will soon expose those who “fraudulently
orchestrated” his loss in the last national assembly election.
Speaking at Ukana, Essien Udim local government area of the state while
empowering some of his constituents, Akpabio accused Mike Igini, resident
electoral commissioner of the state, of denying him of the mandate freely
given to him.
He described Igini as the “most compromised electoral officer in Nigeria and
should not be allowed to hold public office”.
He insisted that he did not lose the election, and urged his people not to be
dismayed by the temporary setback.
“Please nobody should have any headache, nobody should cry because
there is no need. You know your senator cannot lose election because we
were all there,” he said.
“But many of them thought they can go and write whatever they like and
even cancel what you won. I have never in my life experienced a resident
electoral commissioner like Mike Igini and my message to him is that his
hypocrisy will be exposed.
“There is no way you can come into Akwa Ibom and commit that kind of
electoral fraud you committed then you go back to Channels Television and
sit down and talk as if you are a pope.
“Very soon the world will know… All the materials we are recovering everyday
will expose you.
“Just yesterday, the police arrested people carrying materials from where
they voted and were trying to sneak into INEC. The other day, they arrested
someone with card readers. He was frantically calling and trying to say that
they were used for training three months after election so that they will
continue to manipulate.”
Akpabio said he intends to join President Muhammadu Buhari to sanitise the
nation’s electoral system.
”For me, it is important as a former governor and elder statesman to join the
President to sanitize the electoral process so that we will ensure that votes
count in future elections,” he said.
”There is no need for Nigeria to continue taking one step forward and five
steps backward.”
