challenging the victory of Chris Ekpenyong of the Peoples Democratic Party in the Akwa Ibom North-West Senatorial District election.
Justice S. H Tahir said the petitioners, Akpabio and APC had no need to present polling unit agents to prove their victory since they were not challenging what transpired at the units. Tahir urged INEC to retrieve the certificate of return from Ekpenyong and surrender it to Akpabio as the elected Senator of the district.
Akanbi said, “Every reasonable person should support the free, fair and credible election. The Returning Officer cannot be blamed for reporting what he saw to INEC.”
