APC, PDP fight over tribunals’ judgement in Akwa Ibom
National Assembly candidates of the PDP whose victories were upheld by the tribunals’ chairmen, Justices W. O Akanbi at the Metro road court, Uyo and Mrs. Jenifer Ijohor of the Fulga road court, Uyo, were Senator Bassey Albert Akpan , who defeated Mr. Bassey Etim of the APC and Dr. Chris Ekpenyong , who triumphed over Senator Godswill Akpabio.
But the APC kicked against all the verdicts, arguing that the panels compromised and ignored some basic facts that would have given credibility to the rulings and called on President Muhammadu Buhari, the national leadership of the APC and other stakeholders to come to the aid of the APC in its quest to get justice.
He said: “President Muhammadu Buhari, the national Chairman of the APC and other stakeholders of the party should not sit back and watch this injustice done yet again to the APC family in Akwa Ibom”. According to the PDP, the Justices who delivered the ruling carefully followed the due process of law to arrive at the verdicts, noting that all the petitions were fraught with irregularities which made them incompetent to stand in the eyes of the law.
