INEC Obeys S’Court Verdict, Recognizes Ezeokenwa as APGA Chairman

JOEL OLADELE, Abuja

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has officially recognized Barr. Sylvester (Sly) Ezeokenwa as the party’s chairman.

This decision follows a Supreme Court ruling delivered on November 27, 2024, which resolved ongoing leadership disputes within the party.

During a meeting held on Tuesday, December 17, 2024, INEC addressed various issues, including the contentious leadership situation in APGA that has been the subject of extensive litigation. The Commission confirmed that it had received the judgment from the Supreme Court in the case of Appeal No. SC/CV/824/2024, which explicitly recognized Ezeokenwa’s position.

In a statement, Sam Olumekun, the National Commissioner and Chairman of the Information and Voter Education Committee, said, “The Commission has been served with the judgement of the Supreme Court with Appeal No. SC/CV/824/2024 APGA & ANOR vs OYE & ORS, delivered on 27th November 2024 recognising Barr. Sylvester (Sly) Ezeokenwa as the Chairman of the party.

“In compliance with the judgement of the apex court, the Commission has restored Barr. Ezeokenwa as the Chairman of APGA and restored his name on our website accordingly.”
