TheNigerialawyer reported that the Akwa Ibom State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal on Thursday, 19th September 2019 delivered judgement in the petition brought before it by the APC and its Governorship candidate, Obong Nsima Ekere.
The Party had approached the Tribunal to determine the legality of the declaration by INEC of the PDP candidate, Deacon Udom Gabriel Emmanuel winner of the March 9th 2019 governorship election.
According to the state party, the election was broadly adjudged to be flawed and tainted with widespread irregularities and violence.
The Tribunal in a unanimous decision dismissed the petition amongst other reasons for lacking in merit and failure of the petitioner to prove his case.
