‘Arrest Akpabio, Ekere now for electoral offences’
The Peoples Democratic Party in Akwa Ibom yesterday called on security agencies to arrest the All Progressives Congress governorship candidate, Obong Nsima Ekere and Senator Godswill Akpabio for alleged electoral offences.
He said: “We were shocked yesterday by the press statement issued by the state Chairman of the broom-wielding party, Ini Okopido, and the subsequent press conference hosted by the duo of Obong Nsima Ekere and Godswill Akpabio alleging that they won in 26 local government areas of the state. “The thugs further unleashed physical attack on a reporter who was there to cover the elections. He was severely beaten up and chased away.”
“In Ikot Abasi Local Government Area, APC thugs were on the rampage, carting away electoral materials and personnel and taking them to Ekere’s residence, where thumb printing was done.
