The Supreme Court on Friday restored former Akwa Ibom State Governor, Godwin Akpabio, as the senatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress for Akwa Ibom North Senatorial District.
The panel further ruled that Akpabio, having contested the presidential primary of the APC, could not participate in the valid primary of the party held on May 27 and monitored by the Independent National Electoral Commission which produced Udom Ekpoudom as a candidate.
The trial court had directed INEC to accept the former minister of Niger Delta as the APC flag bearer.
