Newscenter Media News The Action Alliance (AA) has taken a swipe at Mr Kenneth Udeze for allegedly misinforming the public and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in particular on issues that affect the party.
A statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Olu Omotoso on Wednesday explained that Udeze, having been allegedly suspended and subsequently expelled from the party, lacked the moral and constitutional rights to represent the party or speak on its behalf.
It said that the leadership of the party also expressed concerns on why the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) could give recognition to an expelled member of the party and failed to recognize the authentic national chairman of the party, Adekunle Rufai Omoaje whose election was held at the last national convention of the party in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
The party claimed that, “The electoral body erred by giving undue recognition to Udeze despite furnishing it (INEC) with all the court judgments that affirmed the expulsion of Udeze.”
According to the party, the Federal High Court sitting in Abeokuta, the Abuja division of the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court had all affirmed the expulsion of Udeze, stressing that the recognition given to Udeze by INEC amounts to contempt of court.
Reacting to a recent statement issued by Udeze where he apologized to INEC on behalf of the AA, the party claimed that the statement was a mere vituperation as Udeze was not a member of the AA and as such lacked the right to speak on behalf of the party.
“To set the record straight, Kenneth Obidiche Udeze is not even a member of our party, Action Alliance, let alone being the chairman.
“From the Federal High Court, Abeokuta, to the Court of Appeal sitting in Ibadan, and to the highest court in the land, the Supreme Court, the suspension and ultimately the expulsion of Kenneth Obidiche Udeze has been affirmed, and till now that legal affirmation has not been set aside. All of these judgments and many preceding them were filed with the commission through processes,” it claimed.
