The All Progressives Congress lost the elections and its petitions because of lack of adequate preparation in Akwa Ibom, the Peoples Democratic Party has declared.
The APC on its part has declared the minority judgement, which declared Akpabio winner, a confirmation of the sanctity of the ballot, maintaining that the tribunal must be commended for their integrity and resoluteness.They praised Justice Hafizu for his courage and said it was gratifying to note that there were still Judges who dispensed justice without fear or favour.
“Since then, they have been shouting to high Heaven over non-existent issues. When the tribunal started, they filed processes that were manifestly and incurably defective. “In Victor Antai’s case, the entire Petition was fraught with unimaginable mistakes, which the petitioners and their counsel conceded, for example the petitioner intermittently used Uyo and Oron federal Constituencies in his petition; used grounds alien to the Electoral Act in seeking redress and sought contradictory reliefs.
“Their PW3 stated that he did not vote and did not see when results were entered but insisted that he knows there was manipulation- nothing more witless has ever been said since the creation of man.“This is a clear case of non-compliance with Electoral Act and inability to prove allegations of corrupt practices in line with Section 135 of the Evidence Act.
