The Court of Appeal has upheld the election of Senate Minority Leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio.
A visibly elated Akpabio took to his Twitter handle to announce the cheering news to his followers on Friday.
In reaction to the judgment, Akpabio said,” My election has just been upheld by the Court of Appeal. Thank you Nigerians.”
Akpabio’s election victory is being challenged by the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for Akwa Ibom North-west senatorial district, Chief Inebehe Okori.
There were reports in the social media earlier in the day that his election was nullified on Thursday, but the source of the said report had since apologized for the erroneous report.
