Senator-elect and Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Chief Godswill
Akpabio, has advised candidates of other political parties who were
defeated in the 2015 general elections not to waste their time and money
on tribunal seeking for cancellation of the polls.
This was as he
noted that any candidate that failed to get the endorsement of the
labour force in the state for governorship and other elective positions
will not win in any election.
Speaking during this year’s May Day
celebration in Uyo on Friday, Akpabio stated that the workers had in
2014 assembled themselves and by early 2015, long before the first
elections, endorsed the Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Mr. Udom
Emmanuel, as governorship candidate of the state.
While observing that the labour force in the state represents voters
in every family, in every unit, in every ward, and in every local
government across the entire state, the Governor asserted that no one
can make it on his own unless the owners of the state, the workers’
endorse you.
