The case was dismissed for lack of merit.
An aspirant for the governorship ticket, Mr. Akan Okon, had sued Eno for alleged falsification of his 1981 West African Senior School Certificate Examination result and 1983 General Certificate of Education, voter’s card and birth certificate.
Okon had told the Court to disqualify Eno and declare him winner of the primary and governorship candidate of party in Akwa Ibom State.
Delivering judgment in the case on Friday, November 11, Justice Agatha Okeke, dismissed the case for want of merit.
