A’Ibom North: Supreme Court affirms Akpabio as APC senatorial candidate

The Supreme Court has affirmed the immediate past Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio, as the senatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Akwa Ibom North Senatorial District.

Akpabio was affirmed as the senatorial candidate by the Supreme Court on Friday after the apex court overturned the Court of Appeal judgement delivered on November 14, 2022, which voided his candidacy.
