Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The ruling APC in Cross River State has accused the PDP of electoral crimes during last weekend\u2019s Akpabuyo state constituency by-election and is set to take complaints to Election Petition Tribunal.<\/p>\n

In a statement by its publicity Secretary, Erasmus Ekpang, APC claimed that they won the by-election and not PDP.<\/p>\n

The ruling party has therefore rejected the result declared by INEC which showed that PDP won it.<\/p>\n

In the same vein, a day before the PDP which lost the Ogoja-Yala federal constituency by-election last weekend had claimed that they won and not APC, citing alleged electoral crimes captured on video.<\/p>\n

Ekpang said: \u201cAll Progressives Congress, APC has after a detailed review of the Akpabuyo State Constituency election discovered the mind-boggling malpractice and electoral fraud perpetrated by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe reject in its entirety the outcome of the February 26th, 2022 Akpabuyo State Constituency election.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe result as declared by INEC was not a true reflection of the actual voting.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe APC will not allow declaration of the PDP candidate as the winner of the election to stand.\u201d<\/p>\n

APC claimed that there was brazen manipulation and distortion of figures by the PDP.<\/p>\n

APC said they will proceed to the Tribunal to reclaim their victory won by their candidate, Bassey Ekpo.<\/p>\n
