Appeal court sacks Akwa Ibom Governor, Udom

The panel of the Appellate Court that sat in Abuja to hear the appeal on the Akwa Ibom State governorship election, on Friday sacked Gover Emmanuel Udom. 
The five-member panel of the court held that Udom's election as governor was not in conformity with the electoral act.
The ruling went in favour of the All Progressives Congress candidate , Umana Okon Umana, who had challenged the election of Udom, fielded by the Peoples Democratic Party.
The court held that the election was fraught with irregularities including over-voting in all the local government areas of the state.
