Akwa Ibom State: Election Tribunal Orders INEC To Conduct A Re-Run Election


Election tribunal nullifies Governorship election in Akwa Ibom State; base on some discrepancies noticed. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been ordered to carry out a rerun of Governorship election in 18 local governments in Akwa Ibom State in the following Local Government:
Onna
Uyo
Ibesikpo
Nsit Ubium
Nsit Atai
Uruan
Nsit Ibom
Itu
Ibiono Ibom
Eket
Ikot Abasi
Udung Uko
Etinan
Ini
Ibeno
Etim Ekpo
Oruk Anam
Ikono
Although, All Progressive Congress was not satisfied with the judgment and have decided to file for appeal, saying that they expected out right cancellation of the election in more Local Government Areas of the State where discrepancies were perceived.
Meanwhile, those of us that have been following the politics of Akwa Ibom State, will agree with me that majority of the LGA’s that the election is to be rerun are mostly APC dominant. However, out of the remaining 13 Local Governments, APC out rightly won in four Local Governments namely:
Mbo
Okobo
Udung Uko
Ure Offiong Uruko
From all indication it will only take the grace of God for PDP to win in this rerun.
