The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has given recognition to Hon Adekunle Rufai Omoaje as the authentic national chairman of the Action Alliance (AA).
To this end, the commission has updated its website, with the name of Omoaje appearing as the national chairman of the AA as against the name of one Kenneth Obidiche Udeze that was there before.
Recall that some courts of competent jurisdictions including an Ogun State High Court, the Federal High Court sitting In Abuja and Abuja division of the Court of Appeal had ordered INEC to recognize Omoaje as the national chairman of the AA.
For a long period of time, INEC failed to honour the orders of the court and continued to act in dence to court orders.
INEC had until recently recognized Udeze as the national chairman of the party, whereas Udeze had since been suspended and subsequently expelled from the party in accordance with the party’s constitution and the approval of the members of the think tank committee of the party.
