Speaking on The Verdict, a live programme of Channels Television on Wednesday,  Akpabio said he would challenge Ekpenyong’s victory at the tribunal.

The  lawmaker  said, “I won. It’s a temporary setback. That is why there are processes. For instance, if you feel that you were cheated or the  collation was wrong, you have recourse to the courts. I did not fail; I can’t fail.

“I believe strongly that there must have been some wrong collation somewhere. Those things will be corrected. We have processes in the election. It’s from one stage; we have to do registration, vote and collate.

“As far as there is a mistake anywhere, you go to court and get your mandate. My mandate is somewhere waiting for me. My people know that I can’t fail an election.”
