BREAKING: Akpabio Boasts, "I have the Appeal Court President in my pocket, Tribunal will be moved from Uyo to Abuja in the next 24 hours"

BREAKING: Akpabio Boasts, "I have the Appeal Court President in my pocket, Tribunal will be moved from Uyo to Abuja in the next 24 hours"



Former Governor of Akwa Ibom State,  Senator Godswill Akpabio, may have finally succeeded in his plot to move sittings of the Election Petitions Tribunal from Uyo,  the state capital,  to Abuja for easy manipulations.


Our reporter gathered exclusively that Akpabio boasted today, that "he has finally convinced the Appeal Court President, Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa to move the Tribunal currently sitting in Uyo to Abuja in the next 24 hours from where a ruling that will favour him will be written.”


Akpabio, who has been nominated as minister by President Muhammadu Buhari and is billed to be sworn in tomorrow,  is challenging the victory of Senator Chris Ekpenyong in the Akwa Ibom North West Senatorial District election. 


"Watch out, in the next 24 hours, the tribunal will be moved from Uyo to Abuja and as I speak, the judgement that will favour  is being written. 


"I have finally secured the approval and consent of the Appeal Court President to ensure that my victory at the tribunal is assured. If you doubt me, wait and see what will happen in the next 24 hours,” our source quoted Akpabio to have boasted to close associates a few hours ago. 


Akpabio’s boast seems to be a last ditch efforts to upturn the popular will of the people of the North West Senatorial District who had overwhelmingly voted for Senator Chris Ekpenyong. 


"How can he claim victory when the result he is bandying is fake? It has been proven at the tribunal that he did not follow the process of accreditation and thus did not vote. His witnesses have confirmed this. Akpabio’s boast is therefore an attempt to turn justice in its head and Nigerians and international community should be put

on notice," the source,  who is a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) queried.

APC Governorship Aspirant, Atinuke Omolayo, Participates in Delegate Congress in Emure

October 25, 2025 A former governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State, Mrs. Atinuke Oluremi Omolayo (née Okeya), who was duly screened and cleared by the party’s National Screening Committee, has demonstrated uncommon party loyalty by stepping down for Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji and actively participating in the delegate congress held today in her Eporo Ward, Emure Local Government Area. Mrs. Omolayo, who was warmly received with an Ọ̀wọ̀ song by jubilant party members, expressed appreciation to her ward for the support they gave her when she initially declared her intention to contest for governor. She explained that her decision to step down for Governor Oyebanji was informed by his wide acceptability across the state, sterling performances in office, and commitment to Ekiti’s growth and development, which she described as derivatives of continuity. While addressing the crowd, Mrs. Omolayo urged party members in Eporo Ward...

Ignore Rumours: APC Confirms Governor Oyebanji’s Name to Be Submitted to INEC on January 16, 2026

…As APC Spokesperson Reiterates Official Candidate List Ahead of Publication The APC Integrity Caucus has moved to dismiss what it describes as a reckless and senseless rumour being circulated by a few individuals posing as party members. The gossip, they said, claims that the party “does not intend to submit” the name of Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). In a statement released on Thursday, November 14, 2025, the caucus said such claims are baseless and should be ignored by every well-meaning member of the public. “Since the successful conduct of our governorship primary on October 27 and the ratification by authorised delegates on October 29, some mischief makers have been whispering that the party will not submit Governor Oyebanji’s name to INEC. This is completely false,” the statement read. The caucus emphasized that the APC operates according to a clearly defined timetable, which specifies the dates for submissio...
