The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has demanded the swift enforcement of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court order on the Agbo Major led National Working Committee (NWC)by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Justice Bello Kawu of the FCT High Court on Tuesday ordered INEC to immediately recognise the Major-led NNPP NWC.
In a statement issued on Saturday in Lagos by its National Secretary, Mr. Ogini Olaposi the party asked INEC to upload its national executives on its website.
“We hope that the current leadership in INEC will not be disobedient to valid court orders and clear judgments.
“The court restrained INEC from dealing and transacting any business with the Dr Ahmed Ajuji led NWC members of the Kwankwasiya Movement, pending outcome of the just concluded judicial review.
“A court order was validly issued on Tuesday, March 17 by Justice Bello Kawu compelling INEC to within 72 hours, update its records to reflect the authentic national leaders of the NNPP led by its Founder and Chairman Board of Trustees, Dr. Boniface Aniebonam.
“It is sad and regrettable that INEC still went ahead to receive correspondence from the Ajuji , group to stay execution, in spite of the fact that INEC lawyer was in court at the time Kawu delivered his judgment.
“The notice of Appeal and Motion for Stay do not constitute an impediment to execution of lawful court orders by those to whom they are addressed, in this instance, INEC.
“No order for Stay of Execution has been granted by any court; none has been served on INEC.
“The order of Justice Bello Kawu is specific , direct , positive and compelling that INEC should within 72 hours, update and recognise the Major led NWC and revert to the original logo of the NNPP,” the statement read.
