The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has stated that it has complied with the Supreme Court judgment, declaring Barrister Sylvester (Sly) Ezeokenwa as the Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
A statement issued last night and signed by Sam Olumekun, National Commissioner and Chairman of the Information & Voter Education Committee, noted that the Commission has since been served a copy of the apex court’s judgment, which has put to rest the prolonged leadership tussle in APGA.
The statement read in part: “The Commission met today, Tuesday, 17th December 2024. Among other issues, the meeting discussed the leadership issue in the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), which has been the subject of litigation. The Commission has been served with the judgment of the Supreme Court in Appeal No. SC/CV/824/2024 APGA & ANOR vs OYE & ORS, delivered on 27th November 2024, recognizing Barr. Sylvester (Sly) Ezeokenwa as the Chairman of the party.
“In compliance with the judgment of the apex court, the Commission has restored Barr. Ezeokenwa as the Chairman of APGA and updated his name on our website accordingly.”
