The Federal High Court sitting in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State
capital, has nullified the All Progressives Congress governorship primary
conducted on May 26, 2022, and ordered that fresh governorship primary within
14 days.
Delivering judgment on Monday, November 14, 2022, the
presiding judge, Justice Agatha Okeke, also disqualified the governorship
candidate of the party, Akanimo Udofia, from participating in the primary,
saying that he was not a member of the APC in the state.
The court also ordered the Independent National Electoral
Commission not to recognise him (Akan Udofia) nor accept him as candidate
according to section 77 sub-section 3 of the Electoral Act.
