2023: Appeal Court affirms Bassey Otu as Cross River APC gov candidate

The Court of Appeal in Calabar, Cross River State on Thursday affirmed Bassey Otu as the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2023 elections in the state.

The three-man panel of the court, in an unanimous decision read by Elfrieda Williams-Dawodu, affirmed the earlier ruling given by the lower court on the matter and dismissed the appeal brought before it by John Enoh as “lacking in merit.”

“In light of the foregoing, one can agree with the decision of the Court and in consequence, resolve the sole issues against the Appellant; the judgment of the court delivered on October 24, 2022, by Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu is hereby affirmed.”
