NOW THE NEWS IN FULL.....
The Akwa Ibom State senatorial election tribunal has upheld the election of Senator Godswill Akpabio as the duly elected senator representing Akwa Ibom North-West Senatorial District in the March 28 senatorial election in Akwa Ibom State.
Justice Goddy Anuichi held that the petitioner, Mr Inibehe Okorie, failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt, the allegations of malpractices at the polls.
According to judge, the allegation of noncompliance during the elections ought to be proved substantially in all the over 1,300 polling units in the senatorial district but the petitioner only called 17 witnesses.
He said that the petitioner’s witnesses testified based on hearsay, which in law cannot be relied upon to decide a case.
According to the tribunal, once a party has submitted the name of a candidate to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), it is deemed to have sponsored the candidate.
As such the misrepresentation of Senator Akpabio’s candidacy on the nomination form to vie for the Uyo Senatorial District rather than Akwa Ibom North-West is a mere technical error that has no capacity to invalidate the election.
The tribunal ordered the petitioner, Inibehe Okorie, to pay the sum of 30,000 naira each to all the respondents in the suit as cost.
Reacting to the ruling, Okorie vowed to appeal the judgment. He said that the tribunal, by upholding the election of Senator Akpabio, erred in law.

YOU CAN SKIP THIS PART(short joke)...
A young couple moved into a new neighbourhood. The next morning while eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbour through the window hanging the wash outside.
"That laundry is not clean," she said. "She doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap".
Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Every time the neighbour would hang laundry to dry, the young woman would make the same
comments.
About one month later, the woman was surprised to see nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband: "Look, she has learnt how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this!"
The husband replied: "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows."
And so it is with life.
What we see when watching others depends on the purity of the window through which we look.
Easy to discuss other people, their lives and things that don't really concern us.
Yet we tend to forget- our window isn't that clean after all.
Clean up your window with the WORD! (THE TRUTH.)
LORD, please give us the strength, humility and courage that we may work on our faults first rather than seeing the faults in Others and castigating them.
Have a beautiful Week !
