Igini: Akwa Ibom PDP Slams APC, Says Your Lies Have No Bounds

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Akwa Ibom State has expressed shock over the failure of the All Progressives Congress, APC in the state to get over its loss in the recent General Election. The PDP in a statement on Monday said that continued claims by the APC that the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Mike Igini supported the PDP was far from the truth even as it claimed that the APC has failed to produce any evidence of any such relationship.

The PDP in a statement by its publicity secretary, Ini Ememobong said:

“For the records, our party has never had any unofficial relationship with the Resident Electoral Commissioner, INEC Akwa Ibom State, Mr. Mike Igini.

“In fact, neither our party chairman, Obong Paul Ekpo or any member of the State Executive of our Party has had any unofficial relationship or correspondence with the REC. We were in fact astonished when the state Chairman of the APC publicly stated that he had been having phone conversations with the REC- discussions we have demanded that the contents be made public.

“It is therefore very annoying for the APC to continue along the inglorious path of habitual lie-telling and facts fabrication against our party. Sane minds in our clime would have thought that by the passage of time, the APC and her candidates would have come to terms with the stark reality of the manifest loss which they suffered at the polls and accept same. Now that they have gone to the Tribunal, which is within their uncontested constitutional rights, they should concentrate on defending their case within the court of law and not to dwell on blackmail within the boundless court of public opinion. 

“We have challenged the broom wielding party to produce any strand of evidence showing complicity between our party and the umpire and till date , none has been produced. Rather in existence in the public space is the uncontroverted evidence of their Governorship Candidate Obong Nsima Ekere, planning with a militant General for the annihilation of Akwa Ibom people during the election using ‘walking sticks’, grenades and GPMGs, financed to the tune of 25 million. 

“We urge the discerning public to ignore the habitual lies and fabrications of the APC, knowing that they had since switched on to their falsehood mode and we do not know when that mode will be deactivated.”
