The Governor said the judgment is an indication that contrary to the allegation of the petitioner and his party, elections did hold in the state and he remains the governor having been voted by the people of Akwa Ibom State.

He re-echoed the position of his legal team on the possibility of testing the judgment in the appellate court and urged the people of Akwa Ibom State to be calm and law abiding in the face of the judgment
