The All Progressives Congress, APC in Akwa Ibom State said it will not participate in the re-run election scheduled for Saturday. In a press conference on Friday in Uyo, State Chairman of the APC, Mr Ini Okopido said the party has withdrawn from the re-run election in Essien Udim local government area as it was dissatisfied with the conduct of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC in the state.

Okopido said both Senator Godswill Akpabio whose candidacy has been replaced with Emem Ekperkpe for the Senatorial District election and Nse Ntuen for Essien Udim State Constituency will not participate in the elections. He said the party has instituted a court process against INEC for failing to affirm the election of Nse Ntuen as the member representing Essien Udim in the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly.

"We have officially as a party withdrawn from the rerun elections in Essien Udim local government area. We are so dissatisfied with the conduct of INEC in Akwa Ibom State and we have withdrawn from the elections.

“As far as we are concerned, Igini has shown unprecedented bias against APC. We know he does not like APC in Akwa Ibom State and if he conducts any election in Akwa Ibom, the party will withdraw. Igini has not been fair to us as a state,” he said. Barrister Mike Igini, a former activist is the Resident Electoral Commissioner in Akwa Ibom. Meanwhile the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Akwa Ibom has accused the Niger Delta Affairs Minister, Senator Godswill Akpabio of perfecting plans to rig the state and National Assembly rerun elections on Saturday. National Legal Adviser of the PDP, Mr. Emmanuel Enoidem said in Uyo that Akpabio was planning to replicate the ‘Warsaw’ violence he meted out during the last election. Enoidem, who is also the chairman of the PDP election committee for Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District, said, ” the ancient English proverb fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me will be put to test during the forthcoming court ordered rerun in Essien Udim Local Government Area”.

Clear is the handwriting on the wall

Politicians always have reason for everything

We shouldn't be doing APC and PDp Here na we know the best people for the job why not allow them but the greedy fulls amongst us won't allow.
You have earned senators and governors salary for 8 years + 8 years you will still eat double pension for life so why not relax?

I don't know who needs to hear this but
SOUTH SOUTH = 6 States
SOUTH EAST = 5 States

Niger delta republic by Major General Isaac Adaka Boro was born 3 years before col. Ojukwu's Biafra

It is not a competition but I think Nigerians like noise that is the only thing Niger Delta lacks one voice and noise makers. We need our own Muric/ Nnamdi kanu/Arewa youth kind of sh!+ and make noise with them simple this our back burner Don Taya me Rivers state alone has more sea ports than all of SOUTH West + South East combined all the money used in building Abuja and everywhere else except parts of Lagos comes from oil in Bayelsa, Rivers and other Niger Delta states we deserve better leaders than these idiots and much better standard of living

APC and PDP are same crooks.

Buhari already secured one of the much needed south east state (Imo) that the North intends using to sideline the south west and retain a northern presidency come 2023

. Akwa ibom probably the agreed settlement chip between the two crooked parties.

APC withdraw?

I don't think say, they are not really telling us what played out. I think they are cooking something.

I know my APC will never chicken out like that. Well am here waiting for the real gist.

You are not telling us the truth

Staro:
APC should stop lying.
The truth is that they do not stand a Chance in that election and are stylishly avoiding disgrace.
The PDP candidates are already leading by many votes

case closed.

its already a lost battle, no room to steal votes and forge results

The more you look, the less you see when it comes to Nigeria politics.

More lucrative indeed!

APC as a political party do not need voting by the electorate to win elections! Eventuall wil be declared winners by Mohammed Tanku(supreme Court)

Yes true, they are expecting that but won't be easy alright!

Akpabio was rigged out by Udom and INEC.
Forget about party differences and keep it aside, Akpabio is more effective than that old, ugly, big-bellied corrupt devil called Christopher Ekpenyong.
PDP is a party of bastards and it shall never be well with them.
Just watch and see he'll be sleeping during plenary sessions and be looting millions without achieving any meaningful project in his constituency

Mike Igini is heavily compromised, hence can't oversee any credible election in the state.
