[BREAKING] APC Candidate Pulls Out Of Ongoing LG Election, Due To Rigging
A statement signed by the APC leader, Chief Sunny Udo; Vice Chairman, APC Etinan Local Government Area, Mr. Idorenyin Thompson; and APC chairmanship candidate, Dr. Mrs. Esther Etuk, said on Saturday that the party took the decision to pull out of the election as voting materials were in short supply.
Udo added that there were also no voting registers or accreditation as required by the law.
“In view of the widespread violence and irregularities in the ongoing local government elections in Etinan LGA of Akwa ibom state, we the executive members of the APC are left with no choice than to withdraw forthwith from this ongoing sham elections.
“Where very limited materials are issued at all, well armed thugs of the cowardly PDP government in Akwa Ibom State are going around, shooting, stabbing and snatching empty ballot boxes at gun point.
“Consequently, we protest vehemently against this brutal and bloody attack on our supporters and on our democracy and therefore unanimously pull out from this fake elections with immediate effect,” the statement added.
