ThisDay newspaper published a report on Monday stating that INEC has replaced Mr Ekpoudom’s name with that of a former minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio.
“The Commission wishes to state categorically that no new publication of the final list of candidates was released as reported. The public should therefore discountenance the story,” Festus Okoye, the INEC spokesperson said in a statement on Monday. A check on the Commission’s website showed that Mr Ekpoudom is still the APC candidate for Akwa Ibom North-west District.
Mr Akpabio was one of the aspirants for the June 2022 APC presidential primary in Abuja. He stepped down in the middle of the exercise for a former governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu, who eventually won the primary.
