The Action Alliance party has raised the alarm over yet another secret suit filed by one Mr. Adekunle Omoaje in conspiracy with some staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) under the leadership of Prof. Joash Amupitan, SAN.
Chief Barr. Kenneth Udeze, the party’s
National Chairman, disclosed this in a statement signed on Saturday.
The Action Alliance described the development as shocking, because the same parties and subject matter are already pending before a Federal High Court in an ongoing pre-election suit instituted by the authentic leadership of the Action Alliance under Chief Barr. Kenneth Udeze.
Action Alliance called on the INEC Chairman, Prof Joash Amupitan to allow the Rule of Law prevail by recognizing the Chief Kenneth Udeze-led leadership of the party.
Here’s the statement in part:
“We have uncovered this hide-and-seek game and we shall not hesitate to expose the rot in the Commission if it continues to disobey the subsisting Judgement of the Court of Appeal which affirmed my leadership.
“The leadership tussle of Action Alliance is older than 90% of the commission’s staff now trying to sit on a history older than them. They must recognize my leadership as affirmed by law. That is what the law says.
“What is INEC’s interest in AA? Where were they when I was being thrown from one detention facility to another, including Ilesha Prison in Osun State, in the course of this struggle?
“Prof. Amupitan’s INEC must obey the Rule of Law. It must not allow itself to be used as a tool to destabilize a lawful political party.
“We remain resolute. No amount of conspiracy can truncate the will of the law.”
