The court struck out Ita Enang’s appeal and upheld the January 19th judgement of the Court of Appeal which confirmed the nomination of Udofia.

It held that Udofia is a member of the APC having duly secured the waiver of the party to contest the May 26th governorship primaries.

The Supreme Court further ruled that political parties have a right to grant waivers to members, saying the lower court erred in ruling otherwise.

Consequently, Enang’s appeal, which was described as a mere academic exercise, was dismissed for lack of merit.
