Supreme court affirms Akpabio as Akwa Ibom APC senatorial candidate | TheCable

January 20, 2023 4:44 PMas the candidate of the All Progressives Congress for Akwa Ibom north-west senatorial district.

The former minister was in the race for the party’s presidential ticket but dropped his bid for another candidate. Prior to the APC presidential primary, Udom Ekpoudom, former deputy inspector-general of police , won the APC primary for Akwa Ibom north-west senatorial district. A parallel primary was also conducted and won by Ekperikpe Ekpo, but was later cancelled over irregularities.Meanwhile, a rerun reportedly conducted on June 8 was said to have produced Akpabio as the winner of the exercise.Festus Okoye, INEC spokesperson, had said the commission is not under obligation to publish the names of candidates submitted by political parties if there are questions over the validity of primaries featuring such persons.

Delivering judgment in Akpabio’s appeal on Friday, a five-member panel of the supreme court held that the issue of candidacy is an internal party affair and consequently strips the trial court and appellate court of the jurisdiction to hear the suit.

That is not an issue, the people will show him love by voting a more competent person from another party.

Another Supreme court in Imo about to play out

U see how Nigerian judges are confused and unprofessional?

Back room judgment.

Thieves only looking for where to steal

Corruption at the highest level

Justice for sale!

But I thought of the new electoral process. If one participate in presidential. They should not participate in other position

How?

People needs to understand that EVIDENCE TENDERED not ASSUMPTIONS are used to judge cases in court.

That senatorial zone will suffer what Imolites are suffering today. Supreme Court of APC government knows the damage so well

Everything mostly the judiciary have collapsed under APC's terrorist government.

Ha! More money has done this one

Hahaha!

Wetin really dey occur for our judicial system? Under the APC we have again seen this kind of judgment.

This is so disheartening....our Judiciary needs to help our democracy.

Judiciary is the problem of Nigeria

Things like this make people doubt the Nigerian supreme court. How did someone who didn't even participate in the elections winning?
