A Federal High Court in Abuja has identified Godswill Akpabio as the All Progressives Congress candidate for Akwa Ibom North/West senatorial district.

The presiding Judge, Justice Emeka Nwite, in his ruling on Thursday directed the Independent National Electoral Commission to recognize him as a senatorial district.

Nwite noted that INEC acted illegally by refusing to accept and publish Akpabio’s name even when APC forwarded his name as its candidate.

The former Deputy Inspector General of Police, Udom Ekpoudom had insisted that he is the candidate of the APC for the Akwa Ibom North/West senatorial district.

Ekpoudom won the APC Ikot Ekpene senatorial primary election held on May 27, 2022.

The Chairman of APC in the State, Stephen Ntukekpo, however, announced that a rerun would be held due to a security infraction during the previous election.

Akpabio who had withdrawn from the presidential race for Bola Tinubu eventually won the Presidential primary election.

The former minister scored 478 votes out of 512 accredited delegates and was declared the winner, but Ekpoudom claimed that the primary which produced Akpabio is a “scam, unconstitutional, deceitful and legally defective.”
