A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to accept and publish the name of Godswill Akpabio as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, for Akwa Ibom North/West senatorial district in 2023.
Justice Emeka Nwite, in a judgment on Thursday, September 15, 2022, held that INEC acted illegally by refusing to accept and publish Akpabio’s name even when it was sent to it by the APC as its candidate.
