‘I Can’t Fail; I Didn’t Fail,’ Akpabio Insists
Former Senate Minority Leader Godswill Akpabio has said that the results from Ikot-Ekpene Senatorial District were mutilated.
We gathered that the former Governor said this was done in a bid to deprive him of his perceived mandate.
He made this known in an interview with Channels Television, saying, he had presented the case before the high court at the FCT after he obtained the “original result.”
Akpabio said that on investigating the evidence before it, the Court gave an Interim Order restraining INEC from issuing a Certificate Of Return to anyone but the rightful candidate of the elections which held on Saturday, February 23.
Speaking about his loss, he said, “I won, it’s a temporal setback and that is why there are processes. If for instance you feel you were cheated, or there was wrong collation, you have recourse to the court.
“So for me, I can’t fail, I didn’t fail, there must have been some wrong collation somewhere, so those things will be corrected.”
