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.

President Tinubu Affirms Oyebanji’s Second-Term Ticket in Birthday Message, Silences Speculations

December 21, 2025  President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has put to rest lingering beerpalour speculations around the Ekiti State governorship ticket as he openly affirmed that Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji has secured the All Progressives Congress (APC) nomination for a second term. The affirmation came on Saturday in a birthday message issued by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, as Governor Oyebanji marked his 58th birthday. In the congratulatory message, President Tinubu not only celebrated Oyebanji’s personal milestone but also clearly stated that the Ekiti governor “has already secured the All Progressives Congress’ nomination to contest for a second term in office in 2026.” The presidential acknowledgment effectively douses the wave of rumours and political conjectures, making the rounds by followers of a disqualified aspirant over the APC ticket in Ekiti State. President Tinubu, in the message, reflected on Governor Oyebanji’s lo...
