I won my election from prison, so what?

Member of the House of Representatives Mr. Bernard Udoh has joined the ranks of politicians who won elections to the constraints and barriers. And he said there was no big deal about it.
In the basic colors of the peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Udoh, which took place in Uyo Prison, Akwa Ibom State to beat eight contestants to get a ticket Ikot Abasi party / Mkpataemi / Eastern Obolo Federal Constituency. Select the cell, he drew his highest score of 213 votes become the winner, even if the place got 162 votes.

 Nine days before the primary, Udoh was in custody, the magistrate orders. Travel detention began last December when the candidate is a place for State House of Assembly, Dr. Joseph Akpanakpudo was murdered a few hours after he left the residence Udoh. Two days later, Udoh called the police in connection with the murder case. He was arrested and subsequently arraigned before the Magistrate's Court.

 Udoh, who had represented the constituency since 1999, spent the next 21 days in prison custody until the suspected killers of Akpanakpudo were captured and marched to the police. It was his incarceration that the primaries were held, and he still went on to win. "My shock was that I was imprisoned with other police cell for six days and was later taken to Magistrate Court. When they knew that the judge court has no jurisdiction to try the murders, then I was transferred to the prisons.
"When the case was called for hearing on Monday, we are rejecting the bail, but then we thank God, because if I got bail on Monday, now that the real killers have been arrested, Police Commissioner of Police as stated in Akwa Ibom state, many other stories to be told."
Udoh said that he and others arrested in connection with the murder were returning home from court on Friday morning, but before it reaches the Court, the local newspapers had to take photographs of suspected killers as the police marched in command. "And that's exactly where it was found that the police commissioner Akwa Ibom State, said that before the people the media men were the real killers of the deceased brother."
Absolving himself of any involvement in the murder of Akpanakpudo, he said there was no reason for him to kill a man a man: "Once again, I was not gunning for the place of Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly, I was running the place the House of Representatives late brother was running the place State House of Assembly, and therefore does not is no way I would now descend from the top down.
"And that I have nine other aspirants challenging to me that the race of Representatives seat, and none of them slapped or beaten, or even wounded in the primaries." Considering what he went through detention, Udoh said that his imprisonment was well founded, unfounded, and was the result of manipulation of a group of people. According to him, he noticed that the back of his ordeal was the people he once lost his several political races.
Ultimately, that he went through, Udoh said there is no grudge against anyone, such as Nigeria Police: "I thank them, I mean the police carry out investigations that led to the arrest of killers of the deceased brother. The world can now see that I did not hand the murder of a relative. " Udoh said late Akpanakpudo from the same Ward with him, and also a political one connected directly to his university days. Why she was linked to the murder, the Land Transport Committee Chairman of the House of Representatives believed that it was the handiwork of his political opponents to stop him running the basic colors:

 "But you see, because God is the one I want to believe that the main motive of my illegal detention was due to my primaries. They knew that there was to know how the primaries would be that I do not want to win." If the primaries had been held 200 times in my constituency, I am going to win . If this is a primary election re-run 200 times, I'm going to win. The reason is quite simple: I have not allowed any position to get into my head, I still maintain my relationship with those friends I had since 1999 till date. "
Udoh was grateful to the Akwa Ibom State Government, which he said "will not allow lawlessness to outsmart emotional arguments. Akwa Ibom government and the PDP knew that I actually won the primary ground and I'm quite sure that my ticket will be returned back to me."
