Akwa Ibom State elders and major stakeholders of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, have accused the All Progressives Congress, APC, of planning to forcefully take over the state and Rivers in the re-run elections.
The group Senator Anietie Okon, spoke at a briefing in Uyo, in reaction to media reports credited to the Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha, that “Rivers and Akwa Ibom states are very strategic to APC.”
The group warned that any attempt by the APC to subvert the collective will of the Akwa Ibom people as manifestly expressed in the April 11, 2015 governorship election, would be resisted.
“When the APC talks about Akwa Ibom and Rivers states as being strategic to their objectives, it appears it is their ravenous and ghoulish intent to take over Akwa Ibom State by force and that implies that there is a determination by them to break all the rules and break all the laws and through subjugation, conquer the Akwa Ibom people.
“It will not happen. We are not surprised given the document that is credited to the APC where they detailed their plans to trample upon the express will of the people by their chaotic, riotous and contradictory process that have been handed down through the tribunal.”
