NNPP Demands INEC’s Swift Execution Of FCT Court Order

The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has demanded that INEC should swiftly enforce the Federal Capital Territory High Court Order to recognise the Agbo Major led National Working Committee (NWC) of the party.

Justice Bello Kawu of the FCT high Court on Tuesday ruled that INEC should immediately recognise the Major-led NNPP NWC.

In a statement by its national secretary, Mr Ogini Olaposi yesterday in Lagos, the party stated that INEC should no longer delay uploading its national executives on the commission’s website.

“We hope that the current leadership in INEC will not be disobedient to valid court orders and clear judgments.

“The court restrained INEC from dealing and transacting any business with the  Dr Ahmed Ajuji led NWC members of the Kwankwasiya Movement, pending outcome of the just concluded judicial review.

“A court order was validly issued on Tuesday, March 17 by Justice Bello Kawu compelling INEC to within 72 hours, update its records to reflect the authentic national leaders of the NNPP led by its Founder and Chairman Board of Trustees, Dr Boniface Aniebonam.

The party said it was sad and regrettable that INEC still went ahead to receive correspondence from  the  Ajuji group to stay execution,  in spite of  the fact that INEC lawyer was in court at the time  Kawu delivered his judgment.

“The notice of Appeal and Motion for Stay do not constitute an impediment to execution of lawful court orders by those to whom they are addressed, in this instance, INEC.
