Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Chief Godswill Akpabio, today embraced Senator Engr Chris Ekpenyong, at the Maiden Convocation Ceremony of Ritman University, Ikot Ekpene.

Recall that in the 2019 Senatorial election, Godswill Akpabio had lost to Senator Christopher Ekpenyong, who contested on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Akpabio, who contested on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) had gone to court to challenge Ekpenyong’s landslide win at the polls, alleging that the election was marred by irregularities.

The court had ordered a rerun within 90 days only in Essien Udim Local Government Area.

Will Akpabio participate in the rerun? Is this a sign that Senator Chris Ekpenyong has been given a pass? Nigerians are watching!
