Meanwhile, Akan Udofia, the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 governorship election in Akwa Ibom state, has been sacked.
The federal high court sitting in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom state, ruled that Udofia did not qualify to contest the APC governorship primary election in the state.
The court then ordered the APC to conduct a fresh governorship primary election in the state in 14 days, The Nation gathered. Akwa Ibom state is the third governorship APC primary that the court nullified recently. The court had earlier nullified the primaries of Adamawa and Taraba states.
