on my way coming back from church I sighted a heavy smoke from a distance..I sensed something went wrong but thought maybe one of the fuel station got fire..but on getting closed, i discovered that it was tyre being burnt by APC supporters. they carried broom, their party emblem, placards and chanting war songs.

Members of the All Progressives Congress have staged a violent protest in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital as defeat looms for the party in the just concluded governorship and state house elections which held on Saturday, April 11, 2015.

The protest began at about 10 am on Sunday, April 11, 2014 and later went into a full blown riot with heavy gunshots being heard around the Uyo metropolis.

An eyewitness who spoke with The Trent confirming the incident said: “There is a riot going on in Uyo with gunshots everywhere.

“We were in church service when we began to hear the gunshots. As the gunshots became heavier and more intense, the pastor had to dismiss the service and everyone rushed home to safety.”

The APC members are protesting their loss at the polls even though the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, is yet to announce official results for the governorship elections.

The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Udom Gabriel Emmanuel is projected to beat the APC candidate, Umana Okon Umana in the keenly contested polls.

Another eyewitness who spoke with The Trent said that men from the Police force have taken control of the situation.

Here are photos from the protest below:

Are we the one to stop them.

Around Four lanes right?. We were even stopped from passing. The Quick Response Squad were just staring at them

Some pips will think APC stand a chance in akwa ibom. Dream on. Even with my soft spot for them...

The truth is, it's 5 times easier for PDP to win Lagos than APC win akwa ibom
Again when violence or protest is reported, you've got to question where? If there are 5 incidences of violence apparently in 5 polling units or wards, can one safely conclude that there was no elections and the results from thousands or hundreds of polling units or wards respectively are faked? To even think that there are 31 LGA in the state, how many of these can the APC comfortably claim victory?
If so then what happened to the card readers that were used, where they also faked.
I think that the essence of the card readers was to stop people from ballots stuffing and faking results.

Sorry if voters were accredited using the card readers as i know happen generally across the state then APC are just wasting their time.
As the card readers make elections difficult to rig, so also do they make election results difficult to cancel

there is no APC in akwa ibom

APC too like wahala

Una dey kill una self 4 politicians way dey he house dey enjoy A.C...

nonsense i dey Doro laugh here..

Today sunday? Na wa for people oo.

More reasons why GEJ is a hero... Before results were released, he congratulated the winner...
In this case, before results are released-they start showing us their party's trade mark...

Akwa Ibom is fr APC....

Akwa Ibom people also want change



Meanwhile the present Akwa Ibom gov denied them of the change




I can see people angry

.APC will win more states but i keep wondering why they keep crying foul when they lose any while the PDP only concede defeat for peace to reign. This shows u dat APC is a corrupt party with Violent threats as it main weapon *sorry to say but the truth sounds bitter to the guilty ears*

them go cry tire




Ingrate like them!!!

Phi di phi rigging

APC protest even where it's clear they won't win.

I strongly condemn the violence. In the same vein, I also strongly condemn the PDP for disenfranchising the people of Akwa Ibom. There's no place for bullies in a democratic society.

They have cheated APC in that state.... May GOD Almighty punish PDP for this, they will totally go down in history,no one wil hear P not to talk of DP in d nxt 3years...


AMEN

sai BABA


AMBO o

I dnt understand how these 'apctards' expected to win d guber elections in akwa ibom...it can't be dis tym obviously. D general acceptance of udom Emmanuel (d pdp candidate) wz far greater than that of d APC guy (who, by d way, was an insider in d akpabio led administration n ended up castigating d same leadership he was a crucial part of)

fdfhgjkl

stanech:
there is no APC in akwa ibom

I guess then it's the PDP protesting against PDP success at the polls. Are you hearing yourself?

Don't take us back to the Buhari-Idiagbon era when young soldiers whip the bombom of Men old enough to be their grandpa.

For those that wished to die in the lagoon, Since they prefer to die, they should go and die. Nobody is forcing them to die. They just wish to die by themselves.
Tinubu has apologised, fashola has apologised, oba akiolu has apologised, all APC fans has apologised (including me). What do they want us to do for them?
Haba.
