REVEALED! N50m PDP Largesse Tears IPAC Apart

-
The recently conducted local government election in the State might have come and gone but the intrigues that it has continued to generate has refused to go.
In one of such intrigues, the N50 million largesse allegedly given to Inter-Party Advisory Council, IPAC, by the Akwa Ibom State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has torn political parties in the State apart.
The Sensor authoritatively gathered that the largesse which was allegedly given at the State PDP chairman's house at Osongama Estate, Uyo, a day after the election has reportedly caused disaffection as members of different political parties that form IPAC are said to be fighting the chairman of the council, Mr. Martins Inyang.
The Sensor recalled that IPAC State Executive reportedly visited Obong Ekpo in his house on Sunday December 3, 2017, a day after the election and declared that the election was free and fair even when results was yet to be declared.
It was also recalled that 32 party chairmen in the State allegedly signed a press release that the election was free and fair. The press release, it was gathered, was pre-written with hand-written date.
But investigations by The Sensor revealed that the said 32 political parties never fielded candidates during the election.
A source also disclosed to The Sensor that the 32 party chairmen are in the payroll of the ruling party in the State.
The bubble however busted recently when some members openly disagreed over the sharing formular, thus, the dirty linen washed in the public. Attempt to reach the State IPAC chairman, Mr. Martins Inyang proved abortive but one of the aggrieved members of IPAC confirmed the disagreement to our reporter.
