The party described Fayose’s purported statement as false, rascally inspired with malicious intention, Leadership reports.

The publicity secretary in the state, Ita Awak in a signed statement said: “contrary to the hypocritical posturing of Fayose, it is the PDP and Senator Godswill Akpabio’s puppet regime in Akwa Ibom that should be accused of unwholesomely meddling in the affairs of the tribunals, judging by all that had played out so far in both the National Assembly and State House of Assembly and the Akwa Ibom State Governorship Election Petition tribunals.”

The party pointed that a person with an average intelligent will come to the conclusion that Justice Sadiq Umar-led panel judgement was not in favour of the APC as the party had called for the total annulment of what it described as “violent, irregular and unacceptably fraudulent governorship election of April 11, 2015.”

The APC statement read in part: “We have been compelled to make the above assertion for the following reasons: Long before the Akwa Ibom State National Assembly and State House of Assembly Tribunals started reading out their final judgements on petitions brought by APC candidates, high ranking officers of both the Udom interregnum and the PDP had confided in and assured their supporters that the N10 billion loan that Udom hurriedly got weeks ago was for the purpose of “settling” all the election panels for Akwa Ibom State.

“The PDP chiefs and government officials also assured their aides and followers that because of this uncommon settlement, all the tribunals in charge of Akwa Ibom petitions were going to invent reasons to jettison the “card reader” reports so as to justify the fraudulent votes that the INEC officials in Uyo awarded in favour PDP candidates.

“It is a fact that chieftains of Akwa Ibom PDP and government knew the date Justice Sadiq Umar-led panel will deliver judgement on the governorship election one whole week earlier and went into massive mobilisation of its members and giving them uniforms they were to wear in celebration of the verdict.”

Meanwhile, Delta state Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Asaba had given notice to deliver its ruling on Monday, October 26.

The tribunal had earlier on October 13th 2015 reserved judgment in the  petitions, challenging the declaration of  Ifeanyi Okowa of the PDP as winner of the April 11 election by INEC.
