The Cross River State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Calabar has upheld the election of Prince Bassey Otu, the state governor for lack of merit
and at no cost.
The Tribunal headed by Justice Oken Inneh, said the petitioners failed to prove that the second and third respondents (Bassey Otu and Peter Odey) are not qualified to contest for the position of governor and deputy governor respectively.
