Supreme Court of Nigeria has restored former Akwa Ibom Governor, Godwin Akpabio as the Senatorial Candidate of the All Progressives Congress APC for Akwa Ibom North Senatorial District, South-South, Nigeria.
Gatekeepers News reports that the Court of Appeal had voided Akpabio’s candidacy on November 14, 2022.
In a unanimous judgment delivered by Justice Ibrahim Saulawa, the apex court upheld the judgment of the Federal High Court in Abuja which in September last year granted a verdict in favour of the immediate past Minister of Niger Delta Affairs.
Justice Saulawa after reviewing the arguments canvassed by Akpabio said that his appeal was meritorious and was allowed.
