The faction says Solomon-David Okanigbuan is the authentic presidential candidate of the party.
A faction of the Action Alliance has said the refusal of the Independent National Electoral Commission to upload the names of its candidates on its portal may truncate the forthcoming general elections.The National Chairman of the group, Adekunle Omo-Aje, stated this at a press conference in Abuja on Saturday.
The INEC had recognised all the candidates presented to it by the Udeze-led faction of the party, despite court judgements declaring that he was no longer a member of the party. The court also ordered INEC to accept and publish the names of candidates sent to it by the Omo-Aje leadership of the AA.‘Yakubu plotting against 2023 elections’
He further alleged that “…Yakubu is covertly orchestrating a clandestine plan against the 2023 elections, and Action Alliance will not fold our arms and watch our nascent democracy rubbished and wounded.” Zainab Abubakar, a Federal High Court judge in Abuja had ordered INEC to remove Al-Mustapha’s name as the AA’s presidential flagbearer for the 25 February poll.In Ms Abubakar’s judgement at the Federal High Court, the judge nullified all the lists of nominees, including Mr Al-Mustapha’s, submitted to the electoral umpire by a factional leader of the party, Mr Udeze.
