Nsima Ekere: Liar Or Confused?

Nsima Ekere: Liar Or Confused?


I've seen several online campaigns by members of the All Progressives Congress in Akwa Ibom State, calling for the  annulment of the March 9th gubernatorial election results as announced by INEC. 



They've equally stated their reasons why the governorship Tribunal sitting in Uyo should cancel the results presented before them by INEC. The primary reason is that the results presented by INEC are doctored results, maintaining that their party, APC won the election in 26 Local Government Areas of the State. 


Having a glance on their governorship Candidate's petition, I discovered that the APC supporters are contradicting Nsima's petition. They're confusing themselves with their counter productive suppositions. 


Nsima Ekere on his petition stated emphatically  that election held in only two Local Government Areas ( Etim Ekpo and Essien Udim) therefore, the results presented for the remaining 29 Local Government Areas should be cancelled by the Court. This is the main premise of his case.


In Paragraph 23 of his petition, it is clearly stated that  election held across the 31 Local Government Areas, but was characterized by destruction of electoral materials, violence, kidnapping of voters, harassment and thuggery. Till today, we're yet to see a case filed against any member of PDP, but there are series of cases filed against APC members by so many individuals and organizations sequel to election malpractices and mayhem unleashed on people during same election. 


In paragraph 24 of same petition, Nsima Ekere maintained that he had won the election in Ikot Abasi, Etim Ekpo, Essien Udim, Nsit Ubium, Abak, Esit Eket, UrueOffong Oruko, Itu, Ikot Ekpene, Obot Akara, Uyo and other eight Local Government Areas. How possible is it for Mr. Ekere to have won election in the same Local Government Areas he had claimed no election took place because of high rate of thuggery and abduction of Corp Members and Staffs of INEC? 


Again, Nsima Ekere in his petition had lampooned men of the Nigerian Police Force for supervising election malpractices in favour of PDP, and also conniving with INEC and PDP to cart away electoral materials. But how would this allegation be possible when every police men in the State were receiving orders directly from AIG Musa Kimo and CP Kaoje? It's on record that February and March general elections in Akwa Ibom State had exposed the above mentioned two Police Officers. 


Nsima Ekere while giving his testimony in Court two weeks ago maintained there was no election across the Local Government Areas of the State. These contradicting statements by Nsima and his supporters have literally put everyone in a dumbfounded state.  As a matter of facts, Nsima's petition lacks coherence. At this juncture, one would be forced to ask if Nsima is purposely telling lies in Court inorder to cover up his shame, or he is just confused?

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...
