akwa ibomAkwa Ibom State Governor, Emmanuel Udom, has opened his defence at the Akwa Ibom State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja.

The Tribunal reconvened on Wednesday after four days of recess.

The Governor and his party, the Peoples Democratic Party, who are defendants in the petition, called four witnesses who testified that the election was peaceful throughout the state.

Witnesses called by the petitioner denied allegation of ballot box snatching and violence during the election.

However, the Attorney-General of Akwa Ibom State, Uwem Nwoko, said that the petitioner had failed to establish that there was substantial malpractices that could warrant cancellation of the election.

He said the petitioner, who closed his case last week, only succeeded in showing the Tribunal that he had no case.
