We're Confident Judiciary Will Recover Our Stolen Mandate - Essien Udim APC


By Asuquo Edem

"We have implicit confidence in the Judiciary to do justice to our people to restore their right to freely choose their leaders without manipulation as carried out by a compromised INEC under Mr. Mike Igini"

The above was contained in a text presented by leader's and stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Essien Udim Local Government Area  at the NUJ Press Centre today while addressing a World Press Conference to vent their dismay outcome of last Saturday's elections which they described as "an election which will go down in history as the biggest, most elaborate fraud executed by the Akwa Ibom State Government headed by Mr. Udom Emmanuel in collusion with a compromised Akwa Ibom State office of the Independent National Electoral Commission, superintended over by Mr. Mike Igini, the Resident Electoral Commissioner"

Reading the text, Arc. Ubokutom Nyah said Akwa Ibom State has never witnessed an electoral robbery aided by the REC as that of the last elections stating that one of the trucks conveying ballot papers earlier voted in favour of the APC were being transported to a location near INEC office on Uyofor destruction and subsequent replacement with ballot papers fraudulently thumb printed all in an attempt to cover their tracks and prepare for inspection by the tribunal panelists. 

Arc Nyah chided the earlier press conference held by some "Essien Udim political contractors" as laughable noting that the truth as corroborated by independent election observers is that ballot boxes were snatched, election materials were hijacked while electoral officers were also abducted.

"Together with a gang of thugs, they snatched Okon Ward materials at gun point and kidnapped the INEC staff with materials...the abducted INEC staff and Corps members confessed to the rigging before the Electoral Officer in charge of Essien Udim".

He decried the fact where Senator Akpabio's votes were reduced from 75,000 to 61,500, votes of Nsima Ekere votes reduced from 73,000 to 46,000 while votes of House of Assembly candidate was reduced from 70,000 to 47,000 under the guise of card reader differentials.

" we advice these carrion feeders never to gloat over this stolen mandate. Their so called gubernatorial victory can only be pyrrhic. Very soon, those attempting to denigrate their benefactor shall soon see that Akwa Ibom people and Nigerians have no regards for ingrates".

Reasons Moses Essien Dumped YPP

  By Asuquo Edem It's no longer news that the member representing Ibiono Ibom State Constituency, Hon. Moses Essien has parted ways with the Young Progressive Party(YPP) pitching tents with the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP). The lawmaker who announced his defection to the PDP today during Plenary at the House of Assembly stated among other reasons his decision to move camp owing to the division amongst the leadership of YPP in the State. In his words: " I write to notify the Speaker and members of the People's Democratic party ( PDP ) in the Assembly of the formal resignation of my membership from the Young Progressive Party (YPP) to People's Democratic Party (PDP).
