We won’t give certificate of return to lawmaker who won in Akpabio’s LGA – INEC
The Independent National Electoral Commission , Akwa Ibom State, says it would not issue a certificate of return to the All Progressives Congress candidate who won the just concluded House of Assembly election for Essien Udim State Constituency.
“We have 25 of them here, apart from Essien Udim,” the INEC spokesperson in the state, Don Etukudoh, said of the number of state lawmakers-elect who would be receiving their certificate of return this Thursday.“I think that constituency has issues to be settled by the national headquarters of INEC. That issue is yet to be settled,” Mr Etukudoh told PREMIUM TIMES.“I am not in the position to talk about it. I know we are not giving that constituency a certificate of return today.
Mr Ntuen’s defection then, including that of four other PDP state lawmakers, ignited a major crisis, which turned violent, at the state assembly last year, when the five of them were sacked from the assembly because of their defection.
