The National Assembly Elections Petition Tribunal sitting in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State has slammed the Senatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chris Ekpenyong and the Party over an attempt to cause the Tribunal to reverse its decision.
The Tribunal had on April 2, 2019 granted an exparte order to Senator Godswill Akpabio and the All Progressives Congress (APC) for inspection of materials in the custody of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
PDP had sought a counter order of the Tribunal to bar the APC and Senator Godswill Akpabio from inspecting electoral materials used in the February 23, 2019 Senatorial elections in Akwa Ibom North West Senatorial District.
However, the Tribunal held that the PDP’s application for the inspection order to be reversed was an act alien to law.
