The call came on the heels of a statement credited the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Akwa Ibom State, Mr. Mike Igini, that the total votes cast for Senator Godswill Akpabio in his home local government area, Essien Udim, should be subjected to a revalidation by using the Card Reader.
While describing it as a welcome development, the former Governor's supporters have insisted that the exercise be replicated in all the three senatorial districts in the State and should apply to all candidates irrespective of their party affiliation.
"Senator Godswill Akpabio should therefore not be isolated for this investigation by INEC if it wants to maintain its impartial status", they submitted.
"It is also a known principle that all laws must have universal application, as whoever goes to equity must go with clean hands", Senator Akpabio's campaign organisation was quoted in a statement.
