What the case is about
The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) petitioned against Akpabio's victory in the 26 April 2011 governorship election, seeking a re-trial before the governorship election tribunal.
Ruling & compliance
The Supreme Court struck out the petition for failing to meet the 180-day statutory deadline under Section 285(6) of the Constitution for a petition to be served, heard and determined — a procedural dismissal rather than a ruling on the substance of the allegations.
