A Federal High Court sitting in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State on Monday sacked Senator representing Akwa-Ibom North East district, Albert Bassey Akpan and ask the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to immediately withdraw his Certificate of Return.
In a judgment delivered on Monday, the court asked INEC to issue a fresh Certificate of Return to Hon. Bassey Etim, whom the court established, as the authentic candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the December 2014 primary election.
The judge equally ordered the President of the Senate, to swear in Bassey Etim, as the Senator for Uyo Senatorial district.
It could be recalled that, Hon. Etim, a former member of the House of Representatives, dragged Senator Akpan, the PDP and INEC before the Federal High Court, Uyo, challenging the nomination of the Senator.
