, has rejected the candidacy of Godswill Akpabio for the 2023 senatorial election in Akwa Ibom North-West District.

The Akwa Ibom North-West District comprises 10 local government areas which are grouped under four federal constituencies – Ikot Ekpene; Ikono/Ini; Ukanafun/Oruk Anam; and Abak. Christopher Ekpenyong, the current senator representing the district, is from Mr Akpabio’s constituency. Mr Etiebet says the political leaders in the district respect, but do not accept, the Supreme Court judgment on Mr Akpabio because of equity and fairness.

“Senator Godswill Akpabio did not participate in that senatorial primary monitored by INEC but having failed in his presidential bid he was pursuing at the time of the senatorial primary, he rushed back at a later date to have a nocturnal primary not monitored by INEC to declare himself as the senatorial candidate.
