The Factional National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Edozie Njoku has served the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) with the judgment of the Supreme Court delivered on Friday 24th March 2023.
The Supreme Court in its judgment resolved conclusively the APGA leadership dispute in favour of Chief Edozie Njoku as the undisputable Chairman of the party whose purported removable as National Chairman was declared null and void by the apex court.
According to a signed statement by Muhyideed A. Imam
National Secretary, APGA, it is important to note that the forwarding letter was written to the Chairman of INEC and all the National Commissioners of the commission with copies to:
Mr Taninu Inuwa (SAN)
Director, Litigation and Prosecution
Legal Department, INEC
Mr Abdulazeez Sani (SAN)
Chief Legal Officer, INEC
El Hassan Umar (SAN)
Chief Legal Officer, INEC
The letter forwarding the certified true copy summarized the 42-page judgment of the Supreme Court highlighting the critical pronouncements of the court and consequential orders as follows:
‘It needs to be stated at this point that the dispute being who should be the Acting National Chairman of the 1st Respondent, APGA and whether the Chairman, Edozie Njoku was validly replaced are within the confines of the internal affairs of the 1st Respondent which is not justicable.’
