APC rejects A/Ibom LG election

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has rejected Saturday’s local government election in Akwa Ibom state, saying the poll was marred by widespread violence and irregularities.
“The party wishes to inform the security agencies, government of Akwa Ibom state, the federal government of Nigeria, and the general public that we reject in entirety any concocted result that AKISIEC may wish to announce to the general public as the final result of the purported local government election,” the APC said in a statement issued on Saturday night.
The statement was signed by the State Chairman of APC, Amadu Attai, the State Secretary of the party, Effiong Etok, and the party’s caucus chairman in the state, Don Etiebet, insisting that there was no election across the entire state.
“In their quest to rig and announce spurious results, all sensitive materials including result sheets were nowhere to be found,” the party said.
The spokesperson of PDP in the state, Ini Ememobong, however, reacted to the development, describing the APC in the state as bad losers. (Premium Times)
