Court Debunks Signing Form 48 Against INEC, 3 Others.

A Federal High Court, in Abuja, denying signing Form 48 against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and some of its principals.

This was contained in a letter from the Hon. Judge, Chamber, Justice E. Enenche and signed by the Principal Registrar 1 Shehu Suleiman.

The letter reads, “Notice of consequences of disobedience to order of court filled on the 3rd day of August 2023 and signed on the 7th day of August 2023.

You will recall that Kenneth Udeze, a factional chairman of the AA, had brandished an order purportedly signed by the court and threatened to initiate legal action against the INEC if the commission fails to obey court orders.

He had alleged that he approached the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, to obtain Form 48 against INEC and its chairman, Prof Mahmoud Yakubu.

He also joined the INEC director in charge of political party monitoring and liaison, Mr Aminu Idris, and the director in charge of litigation and prosecution, Dr Tanimu Mohammed, in the suit marked.

Udeze, who claimed to be the national chairman of the Action Alliance (AA), had since been suspended and subsequently expelled from the party by the National Think Thank Committee for various offences.

INEC recently recognised Dr Adekunle Rufai Omoaje as the authentic national chairman of the Action Alliance.
