The Abuja court of appeal has reserved judgment in an appeal filed by Akanimo Udofia, challenging his sack as the Akwa Ibom governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Udofia, who had also purchased nomination forms to contest the PDP’s gubernatorial primary in Akwa Ibom, was announced as the party’s governorship candidate on May 27 — but the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) maintained that its officials did not monitor the primary.
Aggrieved, Ita Enang, former presidential adviser on Niger Delta affairs, who resigned his appointment to pursue his Akwa Ibom governorship bid on the APC platform, instituted a suit.
