The Supreme Court on Thursday affirmed Umo Eno of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the duly elected Governor of Akwa Ibom State.

The Apex Court panel led by Justice Uwani Abba-Aji dismissed the appeals of the APC, YPP and the Action Alliance, which are based on the non-qualification of the Governor based on allegations of WAEC Certificate forgery.

It would be recalled that the Court of Appeal sitting in Lagos State on Friday, November 24, 2023, affirmed the victory of Umo Eno as the Governor of Akwa Ibom State.

Recall earlier in November, the Appeal Court also dismissed the petition filed by Action Alliance (AA) and Accord Party (AP) against Governor Eno.
