 The campaign described an online report on the photo as “falsehood, malicious and misleading”.
“Mr Akpan has demonstrated strength and capacity in the political scene,” the statement said.
“That Rt. Hon. Eric Akpan is still the PDP candidate for Nsit Ibom State Constituency and with his wider acceptability based on his track record shall emerge victorious alongside Pastor Umo Eno at the polls.”
