The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has fixed Thursday; the 21st day of November 2013 for judgement on the Appeal brought before it by Engr. Frank Okon against Chief Godswill Akpabio, the Governor of Akwa Ibom State.
The Federal High Court had earlier dismissed the case of Engr. Frank Okon on the basis that he did not participate in the Akwa Ibom State P.D.P. Primary and therefore lacked the locus to challenge the outcome of the said Primary, his lawyer Sanusi Salami, SAN argued that Engr. Frank Okon was an aspirant having been cleared to contest in the Primary of 15th day of January, 2011.
The court however agreed with Paul Usoro, SAN, Governor Akpabio’s counsel and the case was dismissed for lacking in merit.
