The party of Action Alliance, (AA), has urged the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC), to accept Kenneth Udeze as the authentic National Chairman and ignore Rufai Omoaje’s faction.
This was made known in an opened letter by Action Alliance, (AA), addressing the INEC chairman, Prof Mahmood Yakubu, of how numerous court judgements has confirmed Udeze as the Chairman against Omoaje.
Udeze in a signed written letter by himself where party accused Omoaje’s agents misinforming and attempting to blackmail INEC Chairman Prof. Mahmood Yakubu.
Letter partly reads, “It is important to state from the onset that the ruling of the Supreme Court in SC CV 1259 2022 being relied upon in the above faceless message has no bearing and did not in any way determine or remove Chief Kenneth Udeze as the National Chairman of AA.
“It was an abandoned interlocutory appeal in which stay of proceedings was sought at Supreme Court against the leave granted to Omoaje by the court of appeal, to appeal the judgement of Justice Eneojo Enenche, which reinstated Chief Kenneth Udeze as authentic National Chairman of Action Alliance (as an interested party).
“His appeal was heard and the court of appeal dismissed and sacked Omoaje and affirmed Chief Kenneth Udeze as authentic AA Chairman. Omoaje has also appealed the said court of appeal judgement that sacked him to the Supreme Court in suit No: SC CV 162 2024 between Adekunle Rufai Omoaje and others VS Chief Uzewuru NwAchukwu and others.
“As of today, that is the only appeal dealing with the leadership of the NEC of Action Alliance before the Supreme Court and it is yet to be heard.”
