Akpabio withdraws from Akwa Ibom N’West senatorial rerun election

The Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio, has pulled out of the forthcoming Akwa Ibom North West senatorial rerun election.

He urged the party to inform the Independent National Electoral Commission , is his withdrawal from the race in line with Sections 33 and 35 of the Electoral Act, 2010, and submit a replacement to run in his stead. Akpabio in the letter urged the national chairman of APC to prevail on the chairman of INEC, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, to redeploy the State Electoral Commissioner in Akwa Ibom State, Mr. Mike Igini, to allow for a free and fair rerun elections.

“The Tribunal In a split decision by a majority of two to one dismissed our Petition, while in a dissenting judgment delivered by Honourable Justice Hahz S. Tahlr, the petition was adjudged proven and all the reliefs sought were granted.

Smart dude.

Its a NO SHOW situation!

😂 😂 😂

This must have legal implications since d elections will not be holding in all parts of d senatorial district. Can votes from areas where there won't be rerun, meant f Akpabio be transfered to somebody else? Those voted for Akpabio, is it right for somebody else to inherit them?

That's a greatman.

Why do your expect Akpabio to leave goldmine for coalmine?

Better for him. He would have been disgraced

Wise move by Akpabio., concentrate on the huge job at hand and deliver dividends to your people. Withdrawal can not be defeat. It is tactical.

Wise decision

Senator_Akpabio You are in deed a thoroughbred politician with deep love of your people at heart.

Lol...... The margin is so wide. There is no way he could win. Meanwhile the ministry of Niger delta is paying him wella.

Smart guy, I commend whoever advised him to take that decision, he would have failed woefully!

Good decision!

Wise decision! He would've failed woefully again

U for try urself na

He knows he was about to lose woefully

Great news. Those who are not happy with the NDDC reforms will run scatter now.
