A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, has affirmed the expulsion of Kenneth Udeze, a factional chairman of the Action Alliance (AA) from the party.
Giving the judgment at the Federal High Court 4 Abuja, on Thursday, Justice Zanab Abubakar, also struck out a suit brought before the court by the said Kenneth Udeze to stop the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to set aside the court order directing INEC to release upload code to the party, saying that the case lacks merit.
According to the court, “the court viewed that Kenneth is not a member of Action Alliance, hence his lack of statutes to institute any matter at all on behalf of the party.”
It would be recalled that the party’s National Think Thank Committee, which is the highest ruling organ of the party, had since 2019, suspended and subsequently expelled Kenneth Udeze.
Similarly, a Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja in a judgment dated 11th November, 2022, affirmed the expulsion and suspension of Barrister Kenneth Udeze from the party, Action Alliance (AA).
In his reaction, the National chairman of the Action Alliance (AA), Dr Adekunle Rufai Omo-Aje, described the judgement as a welcome development and called on INEC to immediately release the code and pin to the party to upload its candidates to INEC.
