The apex court in a unanimous judgment yesterday delivered by Justice Ibrahim Saulawa, returned Akpabio as candidate in the forthcoming election shortly after it set aside the judgment of the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal, which had sacked Akpabio as candidate of the APC in the said election.
The Supreme Court also yesterday laid to rest the long drawn legal battle on the authenticity of candidate for Jega-Aliero-Gwandu Federal Constituency of Kebbi State in the forthcoming general election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress . In a judgment prepared by Justice Uwani Musa Abba-Aji, the Supreme Court dismissed the suit instituted by the party to support the nomination of the unlawful candidate.
The upholding of Umar Jega’s nomination by the court was predicated on the ground that he emerged winner of the May 27, 2022, primary election of the party conducted in accordance with the provisions of the law by the National Working Committee of the APC.
