Senator Bassey Albert knocks Bafil, “You Cannot be a Senator from the Back Door”

Bassey Etim vs Senator Bassey Albert- Judgment is shocking and dramatic – Akwa Ibom PDP- THE KILLER PUNCH NEWS
The Senator representing North East (Uyo) Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Senator Bassey Albert Akpan (OBA), has reassured his supporters and the people of his district that he remains their Senator whom they duly elected both at the 2014 PDP primary and the 2015 general elections.
He made the assertion today while fielding questions in a live phone-in radio programme on Planet 101.1 FM in Uyo, called; “The Umbrella” anchored by the PDP publicity secretary, Barr Ini Ememobong and was monitored by Radar newspapers.
The senator used the programme to dismiss the spate of media reports insinuating that the Federal High Court sitting in Uyo and presided over by Justice Fatun Riman yesterday stroke out his application for a stay of execution of the earlier judgement of the court in a pre-election matter between him and Hon Bassey Etim (Bafil) as false propaganda and high level of desperation by his Bafil.
Senator Akpan explained that the true position of what transpired yesterday in court was that his lawyers and the PDP withdrew their applications from the court since they had similar applications pending in the Court of Appeal.
