Senate Minority Leader, Godswill Akpabio Sacked From The Senate

The Senate Minority Leader for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Godswill Akpabio, has been sacked today. Mr. Akpabio is a Senator representing Akwa Ibom State, and is the former two term governor of that State.

The Federal Court of Appeal announced yesterday that violations to the Electoral Act during the senatorial election between Mr. Akpabio and the All Progressives Congress candidate Inibehe Okori informed their ruling.

The Court of Appeal ordered a rerun election in Akwa Ibom State in 90 days.
