The political calculation, configuration in Akwa Ibom vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
The PDP presidential candidate Abubakar polled 395,832 votes to defeat President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress, APC who polled 175,429 votes, but the victory has turned out to be hollow.
The tag-team of APC’s governorship candidate in the state, Nsima Ekere and Senator Godswill Akpabio did a fantastic job to deliver Akwa Ibom to Buhari, achieving 175, 429 votes despite alleged state-backed widespread rigging. In spite of that, the APC was able to pull down the 953,000 votes the PDP got in Akwa Ibom back in 2015 to just 395,000 votes – a fatal blow to the presidential ambitions of Atiku Abubakar.
They also brought in all the tricks of the game, all of which are now known to all parties in the contest.
