Kenneth Okonkwo Labels Akpabio Enemy of Democracy Over Electoral Act, Demands Ouster

One African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain has called Senate President Godswill Akpabio a democratic adversary.

This was stated by Okonkwo on Sunday during an interview with Laolu Akande on “Inside Sources.”

The attorney stated that if the Senate President does not leave the position in an honorable manner, he should be dismissed.

Following the Senate’s rejection of real-time electronic transmission of election results, the Nollywood veteran turned politician was responding.

A proposed amendment to Clause 60, sub-section 3 of the Electoral Amendment Bill that aimed to mandate the electronic transmission of election results was reportedly rejected by the Senate on Wednesday.

Okonkwo responded by saying, “Let me tell you about the stunning and noteworthy statement made by Supreme Court Justice Abba Aji. We cannot reverse the passage of time, he claimed, and modernism and technology astonish us.

“To oppose the use of technology and electronic transmission and transfer of election results in this high-tech era and period is to be an enemy of democracy and to adhere to the vicious cycle of election rigging, manipulation, and falsification,” he stated.

Why would the legislature hesitate on a matter when the Supreme Court has said that it promotes electoral manipulation and tampering and renders you an adversary of democracy?

Senator Godswill Akpabio has turned into an enemy of democracy and is continuing the cycle of election tampering, manipulation, falsification, and deception by attempting to uphold the same clause that the Supreme Court has declared to be an enemy of democracy if it is violated.

“If he doesn’t resign, that man should be removed because he is an enemy of democracy.”
