The Lagos Division of the Court of Appeal has dismissed two separate appeals against the election of Umo Eno Governor of Akwa Ibom State by the governorship candidates of the Action Alliance, Mr. Akpan Jeremiah and that of the Accord Party, Engr Emem Coffie.
In a unanimous decision by the three-man panel, the Court of Appeal held that the case was without merit and that Pastor Umo Eno remained the duly elected governor of Akwa Ibom State.
Accord Party gubernatorial candidate Engr. Emem Coffie went to the Court of Appeal to have the trial court’s decision in his favor overturned.
