Senator Godswill Akpabio has been sacked by the Court of Appeal in Abuja as the All Progressive Congress (APC) candidate for Akwa Ibom North West Senatorial District.
In a judgement delivered by a three-member panel of justices led by Justice Danlami Senchi, the court held that Akpabio failed to file a proof of arguments within the time provided by the rules.
They also ruled that Akpabio, being a presidential aspirant of the APC, could not participate in the valid primary of the party held on May 28 and monitored by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), which produced Udom Ekpoudom as a candidate.
The Appellate Court also set aside the judgement of the Federal High Court Abuja, which had on September 22, asked INEC to reinstate Senator Akpabio as APC’s candidate, being the candidate nominated by the party in the second primary of June 9.
