Mr Akpabio, a former governor of the state, represents the district in the Senate, on the platform of the All Progressives Congress . He contested Saturday’s election, hoping to return to the Senate for a second term.
On Monday afternoon, the REC, Mike Igini, told journalists at the State Collation Centre, Uyo, that the result for the district was ready, but that INEC could not declare it.“The law says the election results must be declared at the senatorial district. The report we are getting about the security situation in Ikot Ekpene is that it is not okay for INEC to go there and announce results.”
Mr Akpabio, in his petition to the REC, is accusing him of “considering reversing the announced cancellation of result from Obot Akara”.“It is the law that a pronouncement on a result has been made, only a court of law can reverse such decision. An attempt to reverse same is total illegality,” Mr Akpabio said in the petition, dated February 23, and signed by his brother, Ibanga Akpabio, who was the APC senatorial agent in the election.
“We call on INEC to fix a date for a rerun election in Obot Akara and announce the Essien Udim results,” the senator said.
Karma is a b****
Someone should tell Akpabio to take his matter to election tribunal....Loser!!!! His own has been served hot. Amechi, Osibanjo, and Tinubu will get theirs cold. I'm watching, I'm laughing.
Must Akpabio win at all cost. That's my problem with the politicians we have
I reserve stone for you.

You’ve lost Akpabio.
As expected
God na go punish you, you this akpabio. For betraying your pple bcz Of Power now the power is off you...silly goat! God forbid that buhari wins but if he does Akpabio you are finished. Like Dead!!!

INEC officials colluding with Gov Emmanuel, Akpabio allegesFormer Akwa Ibom Governor Senator Godswill Akpabio has alleged some officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) were colluding ... The way Akpabio colluded with them when he was governor. Yes to ensure that the people vote for their CHOICE, and NOT allow you rig the votes in favour of Buhari and your candidate. Akpabio Knows his work. In 2006, He rigged election in Akwa Ibom and became a governor. There was no voting through out Obot Akara Local Government Area, even Obong Christopher Ekpenyong from that Local Govt who contested in another party did not even see ballot paper that day
