The current governor of Akwa Ibom and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the governorship election, Udom Emmanuel, has been declared winner in 13 out of the 31 local government areas announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) so far.

It was learnt that Emmanuel has so far polled 205,931 votes in the 13 local government areas.

Premium Times reports that this figure represents 73.9% of the total votes cast in those areas.

He is thus said to be leading the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nsima Ekere, who has polled 72,742 in the 13 local government areas, representing 26.1% of the total votes announced so far.

According to the report, Governor Emmanuel defeated APC’s Ekere in all the local government areas so far announced.

These include Ikot Abasi where the APC candidate is from.

Accordingly, the local government areas where the results have been announced so far include Ibeno, Urue Offong Oruko, Nsit Ubium, Okobo, Esit Eket, Onna, Uruan, Nsit Atai, Ikot Abasi, Obot Akara, Uyo, Abak, and Ini.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari?

In most comedies, the principal characters begin in a state of opposition either to one another or to their world or both. By the end of the play their opposition .is replaced by harmony. Aristotle in-.his “Poetics” insisted that in tragedy men are shown “better than they are”, while in comedy “worse than they are”. For him it is an artistic imitation of men of inferi...
