TheGovernorship Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom Statecapital has affirmed the election of Governor Udom Emmanuel.
Athree-man panel of the Tribunal upheld the election of Governor Emmanuel in aunanimous judgment delivered on Thursday.
TheTribunal, however, dismissed the petition filed by Nsima Ekere of candidate ofthe All Progressives Congress, APC for lack of merit.
GovernorEmmanuel, who was elected for a second term in office, won the March 9governorship poll on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Hedefeated his APC rival and others to extend his stay in office by another fouryears.
However,it is not clear if Ekere would challenge the judgment of the Tribunal at theCourt of Appeal.
