THE Godswill Akpabio re-election campaign organi-sation has taken a swipe at the former governor of Lagos State, Senator Bola Tinubu, over a statement credited to him that the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) will reclaim its lost mandate in Akwa Ibom State, saying that he is being unnecessarily flippant.
In a statement in Uyo, the organisation frowned on the claims by Tinubu, adding that it was unfortunate that “a highly informed personality in the mould of Tinubu could go about making unwarranted statements over an election that has been adjudged generally free, fair and credible.”
According to the campaign organisation, Tinubu’s unwarranted outburst was a reflection of the desperation from his political camp, adding that for the avoidance of doubt, Tinubu and his ACN dreamers needed to be reminded that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) won the gubernatorial election in the state with over 85 per cent of votes and also won in 25 out of the 26 seats in the state House of Assembly.
The group invited Tinubu and leaders of the ACN to visit Akwa Ibom State during the swearing-in of Governor Akpabio for a second term in office, so that they would appreciate the feat achieved by Akpabio, as well as his support base in the state.
