The Vice Chairman of the All Progressives Congress( APC), Senator Godswill Akpabio, has said that he would approach the highest court in the land to seek redress on the Appeal Court judgement which nullified his election as the APC candidate for Akwa Ibom North West Senatorial District.
He also advised his supporters, party members and all his constituents to “remain calm and law-abiding, as they continue their campaigns for the successes of the APC in Akwa Ibom North West, Akwa Ibom State and the Nigeria at large.”
In a statement personally signed by the former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs and made available to newsmen, Akpabio said,” my attention has been drawn to the judgement delivered by the Court of Appeal Abuja Division, directing the INEC to delist my name from their list as the APC senatorial candidate for Akwa Ibom North West Senatorial District in the forth coming 2023 elections.
“It is instructive to mention that I was not a party in the said Appeal though Orders were made against me and my interest.”
He stated further that, ” whilst awaiting a copy of the said judgement to be made available to me and any other interested party, it is important to state that I am a Lawyer by training and a law abiding citizen of this country and I am bound by our laws and judgements emanating from our courts including the one under reference.
“My Lawyers on my advice and brief have commenced the scrutiny of the contents of the judgement as read, for the purposes of seeking appropriate legal redress.
“I am aware that the Supreme Court of Nigeria has the final say in these matters. I therefore, strongly advise my supporters, APC members and all my constituents to remain calm and law abiding, as they continue their campaigns for the successes of the APC in Akwa Ibom North West Senatorial District, Akwa Ibom State and Nigeria at large.”
The iroko tree cannot be easily pulled down, he’s the best and most pragmatic leader Nigeria needs now, he will certainly win at last.
Akpabio as a lawyer the national assembly and presidential primary took place one day in which you contested for presidential slot . In fairness doctrine. Will you be happy if after you won as president some one comes and said you must step down for me. Akpabio allow justice to prevail. You can not eat your cake and have it back.
Absolutely right my brother. If not for greed and political dominant, as a lawyer that he claimed to be he should have known the outcome. He’s lost it out of GREED.
Don’t mind the idiot
You cannot even eat three square meal a day and you’re calling Akpabio idiot. Learn to respect.
Please allow the law to take it’s course. APC reconducted a new primary for Ikot Ekpene senatorial district. Leave Akpabio alone.
Leave the stupid kleptomaniac alone,let him go to the supreme court,he shall be disgraced at the end of the day by the grace of the Almighty.
Which cake did Akpabio ate? Who the election b4? If Rt hon. Ekperikpe Ekpo has decided to step down for Akpabio it means what it means for him who does that. DIG Ekpoudom as I know did not participate in the nomination excercise on the date slated by the APC NWC which was on the 28th so let’s follow them up as they approach the higher court.

I love Akpabio with my last blood but I don’t like his present party.
My dear Senator Akpabio, kindly rest.
Please be guided by that piece.
Busy people in politics.
Akwa ibom state, especially the north west senatorial district really needs Akpabio back at the mayhem of affairs in the Senate representing ikot ekpene senatorial district and as distinguished senator elect come 2023.
