Akpabio, who is representing the Akwa Ibom North-West Senatorial District, was declared winner of the March 28 election in the area by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
In a ruling delivered on Friday, a three-man panel of the court led by Justice Mashood Oredola, dismissed the appeal filed by the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in the Senatorial District, Chief Inibehe Okori.
The court held that the Akwa Ibom State National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal acted properly by dismissing the petition filed by Okori and his party.
