Governor Akpabio says presidential election was flawed

While speaking with State House correspondents after meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday, Chairman of PDP Governors’ Forum and Akwa Ibom State governor, Godswill Akpabio reiterated that there were glaring anomalies in the presidential election hinging on malfunctioning of voter card readers, underage voters and intimidation.

He says; “I am sure the PDP as a party will react on matters connecting with the elections of March 28. But as governors we came to pay solidarity with our president and to commend him for being a statesman.


Honestly he has done something that no African leader has done in such a flawed exercise, with underage voters everywhere, with disparity between states, some using card readers, some failed card readers, some using manual and some states not using manual and some just taking ballot papers to government houses, particularly in certain parts of the country.

 Yes, very flawed exercise; yet he looked at it and said in spite of it all I want to ensure peace, unity and stability of the country, let me give an opportunity to the APC Presidential candidate to come in and then give his own to the country. That kind of sacrificial stand by a president can only come from a PDP president and that is why we are very proud of what has happened,” Akpabio said.
