Akwa Ibom: APC youths demand removal of REC, Igini over alleged compromise

The angry youths barricaded the INEC office at Udo Udoma Avenue Uyo, displaying placards with inscriptions such as: “Igini is biased”, “democracy is not for sale”, “INEC must act now”, “Akwa Ibom REC is compromised, “Igini is a factional chairman of a party.”

According to him, “This protest is carried by all the youths in opposition political parties in Akwa Ibom State, APC. We are protesting clear partisanship demonstrated by a supposed umpire, the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Barr. Mike Igini. He, however, said the REC was acting on the instructions of the state government, noting that Igini should be probed over his comments during an interview on one of the national television stations that “APC in the state will not have any candidate for 2023 elections.”

He further queried why Igini should presumed himself as the Supreme Court to reject the judgement delivered by the Federal High Court
