The party’s March 27, 2024 Convention in Nnewi, Anambra State gave validity to the Abure-led NWC mandate.
Speaking at a news conference in Abuja, Abure and the National Secretary of the party, Alhaji Farouk Ibrahim, maintained that the Supreme Court judgment reaffirmed the NWC under their leadership.
They blamed the division in the party on Abia Governor, Alex Otti and one-time Anambra State Governor Peter Obi, who had approved the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recorgnise Mrs. Nenadi Usman as the National Chairman.
National Publicity Secretary Obiora Ifoh who read the text of a news conference after yesterday’s meeting, said the development became necessary, having read thoroughly the text of the apex court verdict and the misinterpretation by some individuals.
He said that the judgment delivered on April 4 reaffirmed the party’s national convention held in Nnewi.
Ifoh said that going by what the Supreme Court said, the constitution had created organs saddled with the responsibility of making decisions for the party.
He said: “The party emphasises the importance of adhering to its constitution and internal decision-making processes.
“The party calls on its members to respect the Supreme Court judgment and the party’s internal mechanism for conflict resolution.
“We admonished Alex Otti, Governor of Abia and Peter Obi, LP presidential candidate in the 2023 elections and protagonists of the division in the party to hear the Supreme Court loud and clear.” he said
