President Muhammadu Buhari, on Monday said that the votes of the
Akwa Ibom people allegedly stolen during the Presidential and
National Assembly elections of Feb. 23, would be reclaimed.
Buhari said this during a town hall meeting held in Uyo to thank
the people of the state for casting their votes for the All
Progressives Congress (APC) in the elections.
President Buhari, who was represented by the Vice-President,
Prof. Yemi Osinbajo encouraged the people to defend their votes
during the coming Governorship and House of Assembly Elections.
He decried the circumstances, under which Sen. Godswill Akpabio
lost his re-election into the senate in spite of his popularity
across the state.
He alleged that the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) robbed him and the party of victory.
He assured Akwa Ibom people that all the wrongdoings during the
Presidential and National Assembly elections would be
addressed.
“What happened on the 23rd of February was robbery. The votes of
the people were stolen, but we are not deterred.
“The president sent me to thank you today. We are going to make
sure that everything that was stolen on the February 23 would be
restored.
“It is not possible that Sen. Godwill Akpabio lost. We are in no
doubt that Senator Akpabio is the elected senator of Akwa Ibom
North West Senatorial District.
