APC To Appeal Tribunal’s Ruling On Akpabio’s Election

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akwa Ibom State has said it would appeal against the judgment given on its election petition in respect of the Akwa Ibom South senatorial district for which upheld the victory of the Senate Minority Leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio.

The party described the judgment delivered in the petition filed by the party and its candidates at the state National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal in respect of the Akwa Ibom South senatorial election as a miscarriage of justice.

It said the tribunal failed to deliver justice in the case but rather allowed itself to be swayed by the PDP.

Addressing journalists in Abuja at the Weekend, the state Chairman of the APC, Dr. Amadu  Attai, accused the trial judge of acting in a manner as to suggest that he was compromised to give favourable judgment to the PDP candidate.

While protesting the outcome of the petition, Attai said the party was taking aback at how the tribunal brazenly over-looked the flaws in the conduct of the election in the senatorial district.
