An Appeal Court on Friday affirmed the election of the Senate Minority Leader, Godswill Akpabio.
Akpabio, who is representing the Akwa Ibom North-West Senatorial
District, was declared winner of the March 28 election in the area by
the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
In a ruling delivered on Friday, a three-man panel of the court led
by Justice Mashood Oredola, dismissed the appeal filed by the All
Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in the Senatorial District, Chief
Inibehe Okori.
The court held that the Akwa Ibom State National Assembly Election
Petition Tribunal acted properly by dismissing the petition filed by
Okori and his party.
