Description

Ahead of supplementary elections in Abak/Etim Ekpo/Ika Federal Constituency in Akwa Ibom State, the All Progressives Congress (APC) House of Representatives candidate in Abak/Etim Ekpo/Ika Federal Constituency Mr. Clement Jimbo, has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Chairman and the Resident Electoral Commissioner in Akwa Ibom State to review the number of polling units where the election is expected to take place in line with the dictates of Section 24 of the Electoral Act 2022.
Jimbo called for the removal and replacement of the Electoral Officer (EO) of Etim Ekpo Council, Mr. Edet Eyo Effiong. He said there are indications that the neutrality of the EO has been undermined, adding that Edet’s conduct during the February 15, 2023 election showed that he has been compromised and should not be allowed to take part in the supplementary election.
