A Court of Appeal, sitting in Calabar, Cross River State, has dismissed Senator John Owan Enoh’s case, and declared Senator Bassey Otu as the authentic Cross River All Progressives Congress’ governorship candidate. The ruling was delivered by a three man panel of the court consisting of Justice Jimi Olukayode Bada (presiding), Justice Elfrieda Oluwayemisi Williams-Dawodu (who read the lead judgement) and Justice Ugochukwu Anthony Ogakwu.

Appeal Court Dismisses Enoh’s Suit, Affirms Senator Bassey Otu As Cross River APC Governorship CandidateSenator Bassey Otu, through his Counsel Ozekhome, had argued that the NWC, being responsible for the daily administration of the party, had duly exercised its powers in clearing the candidate.

In a unanimous decision on the appeal filed and argued for the Appellant by Chief Awa Kalu, SAN and opposed and argued by Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN, for Senator Otu, the three-man panel dismissed the appeal filed by Senator John Owan Enoh, as lacking in merit and affirmed the decision of the Federal High Court in Suit No FHC/CA/CS/106/2022, delivered by Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu, on 24th October, 2022.

Ozekhome had also argued that there was no provision in the APC Constitution or Guidelines to the effect that without an appeal to the Screening Appeal Committee and the NWC by an affected aspirant, the NWC could not decide on appeals over an internal issue.
