President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday said that the votes of the Akwa Ibom people allegedly stolen during the presidential and National Assembly elections of February 23 would be reclaimed.
Mr Buhari said this during a town hall meeting held in Uyo to thank the people of the state for casting their votes for the All Progressives Congress in the elections.
He decried the circumstances, under which Mr Akpabio lost his re-election into the Senate in spite of his popularity across the state.He assured Akwa Ibom people that all the wrongdoings during the presidential and National Assembly elections would be addressed. “I and Adams Oshiomhole, the National Chairman of the party have been in the opposition for long and we cannot be defeated anymore.
He alleged that INEC colluded with some of the electoral officers to deny the state of its electoral victory on Feb 23, even though the people voted for APC. “On Saturday we are not going to wait for them to steal out votes. We call on Akwa Ibom people to protect their votes. We must maintain our sanity even in this hour of provocation.The APC governorship candidate in the state, Nsima Ekere, encouraged the people not to be deterred by the Feb. 23 elections, but to go out and vote during the March 9 elections, saying the party was sure of victory.
