Appeal Court Sacks Another Senator, Declares PDP Candidate Winner
…..The Court of Appeal has declared Austin Akobundu of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the rightful winner of the Abia Central Senatorial District election.

……His appeal was rejected by the tribunal in September.
….He appealed the decision, and on Saturday, he was declared the winner of the Abia central senatorial district election
