National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Comrade Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole has accused the Independent National Electoral Commission of conniving with the Akwa Ibom State Government to rig Senator Godswill Akpabio out of last Saturday's senatorial election.
Speaking at a press conference on Thursday in Abuja, he said the electoral umpire deliberately employed government officials as election agents with instructions to deliver victory to candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party.
Stating that the APC has evidence of altered figures of senatorial election results that affected the former Senate Minority leader, Oshiomole said the election was neither free nor fair.
His words, “Akpabio was rigged in the last week’s elections. How would one explain altered figures against Akpabio which we have in our custody?
“The Independent National Electoral Commission in Akwa Ibom employed Akwa Ibom State officials as electoral officers who manipulated figures against opponents.
“They keep manipulating and adjusting figures until they are satisfied that Akpabio was defeated before submitting results to INEC,” he claimed.
Oshiomhole further revealed that APC has already petitioned INEC, expressing optimism that with time, justice would prevail in the matter.
