Senator Natasha Akpabio has publicly condemned what she claims is the arrest of members of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State ahead of the gubernatorial election. The allegations suggest a deliberate attempt to intimidate the opposition and influence the outcome of the polls. The APC has vehemently denied these accusations, dismissing them as unfounded and unnecessary, asserting their confidence in securing victory without resorting to manipulation. Details regarding the specific arrests and the identities of those detained remain limited. This exchange highlights rising tensions between the two parties as the election date approaches. Vanguard News reported on the Senator’s statement and the APC’s swift response. The situation raises concerns about the fairness and transparency of the electoral process in Ekiti State.
