The Supreme Court in Abuja has upheld the election of Governor Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom State.

The apex court in a judgment delivered on Wednesday said the case filed by the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, lacked merit.

The APC candidate, Obong Nsima Ekere, in the March 9 governorship election challenged the victory of Emmanuel, who was declared the winner of the election by the Independent National Electoral Commission ( INEC).

In a judgement delivered by Justice Mary Odili, the court said Ekere’s “appeal lacks merit and its accordingly dismissed.”
