Court of Appeal in Calabar on Thursday, November 14, 2019 nullified the State Assembly election in Mbo State Constituency of Akwa Ibom, which had the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, candidate, Okon Asukwo as the winner.

The appellate court, however, declared Effiong Johnson of the All Progressives Congress (APC) winner and ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission lNEC to issue Certificate of Return to the APC candidate.

However, PDP in the state in reaction to the ruling, said the party would accept the verdict in good faith.

The PDP State Publicity Secretary, Barr. Ini Ememobong, noted that since there was ‘no other avenue of legal adjudication on this matter and the court process being part of the electoral system, the outcome must be respected whether favorable or not!’

The statement read, “We have been briefed by the State Legal Adviser of our party, Goddy Umoh Esq, on the judgement of the Court of Appeal in the appeal filed in respect of Mbo State Constituency wherein the appellate court allowed the appeal and declared the candidate of the APC, Chief Effiong Johnson as the winner of the elections.

“As a law abiding institution, we respect the judgment, since there is no other avenue of legal adjudication on this matter. The court process is a part of the electoral system and must be respected whether the outcome is favorable or not.”

The PDP, therefore, urged its supporters in Mbo to receive the judgement with maturity and conduct themselves in a peaceful manner.

Who knows what else Timi Frank will volunteer to do for Atiku in order to justify further expenditure to keep his body and soul together.
