The Action Alliance Party has said one Major General Lincoln Ogunewe is not its candidate in the November governorship election in Imo State.
“The primary produced Chief Ukadike Chinedu Humphrey as the party’s governorship candidate. It is however worrisome and highly embarrassing that the said Kenneth Udeze who was expelled from the party, has continued to parade himself as the National Chairman of Action Alliance, and has gone as far as trying to deceive members of the public by ridiculously presenting the Rtd. Gen. Lincoln Ogunewe as governorship candidate of the party.
“This is a clear disregard to the subsisting Court of Appeal judgement which affirmed Hon. Dr. Adekunle Rufai Omo-Aje as the authentic National Chairman of Action Alliance.” “The fact that INEC has retained on its website, the name ‘Kenneth Udeze, as the National Chairman of Action Alliance, is an indication that the National Chairman of the electoral umpire, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, has deliberately decided to operate in contempt to the Court of Appeal judgement.”
“We will, therefore, not hesitate to press Contempt of Court charges against both Kenneth Udeze and Prof. Mahmood Yakubu if they do not retrace their steps.” “We reaffirm that Chief Ukadike Chinedu Humphrey is the sole governorship Candidate of the Action Alliance for the governorship election in Imo State, scheduled for November 11, 2023. We equally use this opportunity to urge Imolites to disregard activities of these impostors.”All rights reserved.
