Akpabio EXPOSED! Court Evidence Reveals Person Who RIGGED 2019 Election For Senate President; See Shocking Details
A recent court case has confirmed that Professor Peter Ogban, who was jailed for election fraud, actually rigged the 2019 Akwa Ibom North- West Senatorial District election to favor Senate President Godswill Akpabio. This contradicts the claims made by Ata Ikiddeh, a former aide to Akpabio, who alleged in a Facebook post that the professor manipulated the results to benefit Akpabio’ s opponent, Chris Ekpenyong. Ikiddeh further accused Ogban of working with the then- Resident Electoral Commissioner, Mike Igini, to alter the election outcome.
However, an investigation by Premium Times has debunked these allegations. Court documents from March 2021 reveal that Ogban was convicted for adjusting vote counts in Oruk Anam and Etim Ekpo local government areas, where he decreased the votes for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and increased those for the All Progressives Congress (APC). Testimonies from election officials confirmed that the results announced by Ogban did not match the actual figures recorded at polling stations. As a result, he was sentenced to three years in prison for electoral fraud.
Despite this, Akpabio and his supporters continue to insist that the election was manipulated against him. At a campaign rally in January 2023, Akpabio reiterated his claim that he was unfairly denied victory and that the professor responsible had been imprisoned. These statements, however, contradict the verified evidence from the court case, which confirms that Ogban’ s actions were actually in Akpabio’ s favor.
The resurfacing of these claims comes shortly after another election fraud conviction. Professor Ignatius Uduk was recently sentenced to prison for rigging a different 2019 election in favor of an APC candidate aligned with Akpabio. Ikiddeh’ s Facebook post has gained support from Akpabio’ s loyalists, who praised him for challenging the prevailing narrative about the election. However, despite these efforts to reshape public perception, judicial records and investigative reports continue to affirm that the election fraud benefited Akpabio, not his opponent.
