Ironically the two cousins, Ewang and Nkanga, are the director-generals of APC and PDP governorship campaign organisations respectively.

Elections had to be stopped on Ewang’s order on the grounds that PDP had brought in mercenaries to vote for their party.

“Nobody is going to vote again. That’s what they did during the last election and won.

“Some people had votes before elsewhere and they went and brought them here to vote. It will never happen again this time around. The only solution is to stop the election,” Ewang said.

But Nkanga who was busy pleading with the people to be calm told the our correspondent that the allegation was false.

“Who are the mercenaries. Let them point out those who have voted before. They just want to disrupt the election. That has been their plan. They want to cause trouble.

“You see people are going. We could have finished voting by now,” Nkanga stated.

The NYSC polling officer said only 202 person had vote by 1 pm when voting was stopped out of the 705 people in the unit officially called Afe Ewang, Unit 3, Mbiaso Ward 4, in Nsit Ibom local government area
