President Mohammadu Buhari yesterday
in Uyo, at a town hall meeting in the Akwa Ibom State capital yesterday, vowed
to claimed back the stolen votes of his party, the All Progressive Congress (APC)
in Akwa Ibom state in the recently concluded Presidential and National Assembly
election, where all his party’s candidates, including the man of the people,
former Senate minority Leader and former Governor, Senator Godswil Obot Akpabio
lost mysteriously to the rival party, the People Democratic Party (PDP).
The President, who was represented
by the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, was speaking in a town hall meeting,
where he came to thank the people of the state for voting for the APC in the 23rd,
February Presidential and National election, observed that it is impossible for
all the APC candidates, including a very popular and well loved candidate in
the person of the former Governor, Senator Godswil Obot Akpabio to lost the election
the manner the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) wants us to
believe they lost. The President alleged that INEC robbed his party of victory
in the state, promising they are going to reclaim their victory.
“What happened on February 23, where
the votes of the people were stolen was a day light robbery and we are not deterred”,
the President pointed out.
“The President sent me to thank you
today. We are going to make sure that everything that was stolen on February 23
would be restored”, the VP promised the people.
“It is not possible that Sen.
Godswil Akpio lost. We are in no doubt that Senator Akpabio is the elected Senator
of Akwa Ibom, North West Senatorial District”, The VP pointed out.
The VP admonished the people to encouraged
their neighbours and along, go out and cast their votes for the APC
governorship candidate in the State, Obong Nsima and all the APC candidates in
the State House of Assembly on Saturday, revealing that he and the party
national chairman, Comrade Adam Oshiomole have been in the opposition for so
long and cannot be defeated again. The VP also promised that the federal
Government would engage the instrumentality of the Law to protect the mandate
of the people.
