The Supreme Court on Thursday affirmed the election of Umo Eno of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the duly elected governor of Akwa Ibom State.
The apex court dismissed the appeals filed by the All Progressives Congress (APC), the Young Progressives Party (YPP), and the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP), which contested Eno’s eligibility as the validly elected governor of the state or the conduct of the election.
Eno was declared the winner of the governorship election on March 19, 2023, in Uyo, the state capital, by Emmanuel Adigio, a professor and Returning Officer for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
