Federal High Court judgement against me is ‘Kangaroo’ – Senator Akpan Bassey
Senator representing Akwa Ibom North East, Albert Bassey Akpan (PDP) has described Monday’s judgement by the Federal High Court, Uyo against him as a Kangaroo one.

Akpan who was optimistic that he will reclaim his mandate, revealed that he had briefed his legal team, explaining that they have swung into action already.
DAILY POST reported on Monday that Senator Albert Bassey was asked to vacate his seat in the ruling of a pre-election before Justice Etim Bassey of the federal high Court in Uyo.
