AK PDP hijackes INEC peace Accord

PRESS RELEASE

THIS MACABRE DANCE BY INEC AND AKWA IBOM STATE GOVERNMENT: AN EVIL ALLIANCE AGAINST OBONG NSIMA EKERE THAT MUST STOP

The Independent National Electoral Commission today exhibited an uncommon bias in favour of the People’s Democratic Party and its governorship candidate, Mr. Udom Emmanuel at its peace accord signing event at the Ibom Hall, Uyo. In an event, which the electoral umpire advertised it was organizing for all the contestants in the forthcoming election, the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Obong Nsima Ekere, was prevented from gaining entry into the hall by security and protocol officers attached to the Akwa Ibom State governor, who is the candidate of the PDP.

Obong Nsima Ekere arrived the venue straight from another event organised by the Methodist Church of Nigeria, to pray for the orderly and peaceful conduct of the 2019 election, an event that had been scheduled before the INEC event. All entreaties to the security and protocol officials of the PDP candidate to allow the APC governorship candidate into the hall, fell on deaf ears.

It was quite unfortunate that the Independent Electoral Commission in the state, conveniently allowed the PDP and the Akwa Ibom State government to hijack the event to the disadvantage of other candidates of other political parties, especially the governorship candidate of the All Progressives congress. An event organized by a supposedly unbiased umpire was compered by Gov. Udom Emmanuel’s Special Assistant on Public Affairs and the governor’s official Master of Ceremonies, Mr Raphael Edem; security was provided by the governor’s security details, while protocol duties were manned by the governor’s

Protocol officials.

The treatment meted to Obong Nsima Ekere is another of the recent open flirtation between INEC in the state and the Akwa Ibom State Government. Just last week, the state government and the PDP took advert spaces in several National dailies drumming support for the INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner in the state.

We look forward to a peaceful, credible, free and fair election in the state and the electoral umpire as a critical partner in the electoral process must be independent and seen to be truly independent.

The unfortunate incident at Ibom Hall not withstanding, the All Progressives Congress and its governorship candidate, Obong Nsima Ekere are committed to a violence free election and urge the other party and its candidate to be committed to peace beyond the symbolic signing of a peace accord. This macabre dance is needless and the evil alliance must stop and now.

A controversial prophetic warning has stirred political conversations in Akwa Ibom State following a public caution issued by Prophet Ekong Ituen to renowned lawyer and political figure, Barrister Emmanuel Enoidem, SAN. In a message described as a divine revelation, Prophet Ituen cautioned Barr.

Betrayal looms:

WATCH YOUR BACK, PROPHET EKONG ITUEN WARNS GOV. UMO ENO Prophet Ekong Ituen has urged Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, to be vigilant and discerning about some individuals who followed him from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), warning that not everyone around him may genuinely have his best interests at heart. According to the prophet, while some of these individuals may appear physically present and loyal, their hearts and interests could be elsewhere, driven more by the desire to protect their positions and jobs than by genuine commitment to the Governor’s political success. “In my revelation, I saw some of them working against your victory in 2027. I urge you to be very careful and discerning, because when the moment of truth comes, some of those who appear to stand with you today may not be there when you need them most,” Prophet Ituen cautioned. He stressed that leadership requires not only courage and political wisdom but al...
