A stakeholder of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA,
from the southeast, Obiora Ugwu, has written to President Bola Tinubu, on the
lingering intra-party crisis ravaging the national leadership of the party.
It comes on the heels of a court judgement, which
purportedly sacked Barrister Sly Ezeokenwa, and affirmed Edozie Njoku as the
authentic APGA national chairman by the court of the land.
In an open letter, signed and addressed to Tinubu and made
available to newsmen on Saturday, Ugwu berated an alleged abuse of the
judiciary arm of the Nigerian government by the Independent National Electoral
Commission, INEC, in respect to the leadership tussle between Edozie Njok,
Victor Oye and Barr Sly Ezeokenwa.
According to him, “The leadership tussle has been going on
since 2018, the Supreme Court delivered a judgement on March 24, 2023, that
settled the matter, reaffirming Njoku as the national chairman of APGA and the
Supreme Court directed INEC to recognize him with immediate effect.”
Ugwu regretted that the INEC chairman, Professor Mahmoud
Yakubu, has refused to carry out the order issued by the Supreme Court since
then.
He said: “This has become ridiculous to the entire world and
Nigeria in particular. No sane nation disobeys the Supreme Court’s judgement.
“This open letter is for you, Mr President, to wade into
this matter to save the face of the Nigerian judiciary. The Governor of Anambra
State and also the leader of APGA, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has continued to use
money to prevent the INEC Chairman from carrying out the directives of the
court, thereby ridiculing the Nigerian judiciary.
“Southeast and all APGA stakeholders are hanging on,
expecting that the orders must be respected. Mr President, please, we ask you
to save APGA from the hands of Soludo and INEC chairman, Yakubu.”
