Akwa Ibom Supreme Court.

The requests were documented by the All Progressives Congress (APC), the Young Progressive Party (YPP) and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).

Lead advice to the particular gatherings pulled out their different requests following the clues from the Court’s panel of Judges that they have no legitimacy.

The request by APC and its gubernatorial applicant , Akanimo Udofia, YPP and its gubernatorial applicant, Akpan Albert Bassey as well as that of NNPP and its gubernatorial applicant, John James Akpan Udoedehe were tossed out by Justice Uwani Abba-Aji upon their withdrawal.

Counsel in the issues had made energetic pointless endeavors to persuade the High Court that Emotional Eno Bassey and Bassey Eno Emotional were not something very similar and as such the Governor forged his Secondary School Certificate.

Their contentions, particularly falsification claims, didn’t go down well with the peak court judges who questioned the legal counselors on whether the West African Examinations Council
WAEC gave proof to lay out the criminal charges.

Upon confirmation that WAEC didn’t affirm regarding this situation, the legal advisors picked and independently pulled out the allure.

Governor Eno Bassey

This prompted Justice Abba-Aji to excuse them as there were no complaints from legal advisors to the different respondents.

The Court didn’t grant cost against any of the legal counselors to the appellants having willfully pulled out their cases on ground of need of legitimacy.

The Court of Allure in Lagos had in November last year confirmed the appointment of Governor Eno.

The redrafting court in its judgment excused three separate requests, recorded against the Governor’s election decision.

While certifying the September 28, 2023 decisions of the election petition tribunal, the three-member panel of Justices headed by Festus Obande excused the allure brought by the governorship up-and-comer of the Young Progressives Party, Bassey Akpan, and his party against the Independent National Electoral Commission, Eno, and the People groups Progressive faction.

Equity Obande likewise conceded decisions for the lead representative against the allures of the governorship competitor of the New Nigeria Individuals’ Party, John Udoedehe, as well as Akanimo Udofia, of the All Progressives Congress.

The redrafting court pronounced in the consistent decisions that every one of the three requests needed merit.
