The Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) has rejected the appointment and confirmation by the Senate of Etekarnba Umoren as the Residential Electoral Commissioner (REC) for Akwa Ibom State.

The Senate had on Wednesday confirmed the appointment of Umoren and six others.

PDPs National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, during a press conference at the Wadata Plaza Headquarters of the party, said Umoren is not only a card carrying member of the APC but has also participated in various campaigns involving the party in Akwa Ibom State.

Displaying the picture of Umoren in full regalia of the APC, Ologunagba said Section 141 of the Electoral Act 2022 is clear on the appointment of REC.
