allegations of collusion and falsification of election results levelled against the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, by the state chairman of All Progressives Congress, APC, Mr. Ini Okopido, have been described as baseless and misleading.This was the position of Akwa Ibom Liberation Movement in a press briefing held in Uyo yesterday.
Sam averred that “if APC chieftains were to pause for a while and engage in soul searching, they would come to terms with the fact that there is no need to point accusing finger at either INEC or PDP because the reality is that during the election, Akwa Ibom people undertook a referendum to reward a party that has brought about life transforming development since 1999 and to consolidate on a sustained peace which Governor Udom Emmanuel has brought to the polity.
“Evidently, all through the campaigns of the All Progressives Congress, APC , its leaders boasted of their plan to use ‘federal might’ to take power by force. He however lauded Akwa Ibom people “for going to God in prayers and engaging a high sense of patriotism to take a stand and vote against the aggressor.”
During the elections, February 23 and March 9, these threats manifested in parts of the State including Essien Udim, Ikot Ekpene, Etim Ekpo, Ukanafun, Ikot Abasi, Mkpat Enin, Ibiono Ibom, Itu and others. Known APC stalwarts went about with armed men dressed in security uniforms and caused mayhem, disrupt the electoral process in some polling units and cause other forms of malpractice.
