‘You Wasted Our Time’ — Supreme Court Slams APC, Affirms PDP’s Eno Akwa Ibom Governor

The Supreme Court has dismissed the appeal filed by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate, Akanimo Udofia, against the election victory of Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno.

The apex court advised the APC candidate counsel, Hassan Liman, to withdraw his appeal because the findings of the lower courts on his case were based on facts and in order.

The Court of Appeal sitting in Lagos had affirmed the election of Eno who contested on the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) platform.

The appellate court dismissed all the appeals against the governor’s election.

The appeal court held that the allegations of certificate forgery were not substantiated.

The appellate court also held that the allegations of criminal convictions against the governor had been set aside by a court of law.

At the Supreme Court, Hassan Liman, counsel for appellants, appealed against the judgement of the Court of Appeal.

He maintained that the crux of his matter is that the governor and his deputy governor were once convicted by various courts.

He argued they were constitutionally disqualified from contesting the polls.

But he admitted that their conviction by a Magistrate Court in Abuja was purportedly set aside by the same court and not the Appeal Court.
