The controversies that trailed the announcement of Ntiedo Usoro of the All Progressives Congress, APC, as the winner of the October 5 local government election in Essien Udim local government area of Akwa Ibom State is gradually dying down.
This is following the congratulatory message put out by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP , candidate, Enobong Patrick Friday who was earlier alleged to have won the polls. Essien Udim is the local government of the Senate president, Senator Godswill Akpabio of the APC.
“I later learnt from a credible source that the drama was staged in Ewet Housing Estate, Uyo. An unidentified man was conscripted to read the purported result. ‘‘The crowd at the background consisted of hired drivers of their masters who toned the background to make it look real without allowing the video camera man to capture their true faces,’’ the AKISIEC boss narrated.
