Akpabio withdraws court case challenging election defeat

Mr Akpabio’s lawyer, Sunday Ameh, announced the withdrawal in court in Abuja on Friday. He did not give reasons for his decision.

On Friday, the judge, Valentine Ashi, denied restraining the Independent National Electoral Commission from issuing certificate of return to the Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Chris Ekpenyong, in the February 23 elections. The judge explained that Mr Akpabio’s application contained a request for an order of mandamus restraining parties and allowing Mr Akpabio to judicially review the processes that resulted in the declaration of Mr Ekpenyong as winner of the senatorial election.

“When a person requests for the enforcement of his right through an order of mandamus, what it means is that once that request is granted, parties are to stay proceedings until that right has been enforced. That’s what it means,” Mr Inuwa explained.
