INEC urged to publish Ukaegbu’s name as authentic gubernatorial candidate of the LP in Imo

The Coalition of Civil Society Organizations for Peace & Good Governance has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to publish the name of Ukaegbu Ikechukwu Joseph as the duly- nominated candidate of the Labour Party for the November 2023 Imo State Governorship Election.

This was in responds to last Thursday judgement of Appeal Court which stated that only the candidates produced by the Lamidi Apapa -led primaries are the original candidates of the Labour Party in Imo, Kogi and Bayelsa governorship election billed close to the end of this year.

Addressing a press conference in Abuja, the convener of the group, Mr Uche Okoronkwo recalled that on April 5, 2023, the FCT High Court restrained Julius Abure and others from parading themselves as National Officers of the Labour Party and in obedience to ruling, the LP appointed the Deputy National Chairman, Alhaji Bashiru Lamidi Apapa as the Acting National Chairman of the party in accordance with its constitution.

Okoronkwo said: “There is no parallel judgment of the Appeal Court on the Chairmanship of the Labour party. The Appeal Court cannot rule against itself.

“The truth of the matter is that the judgment of the Appeal court in Benin City is clearly different from the Appeal court judgment restraining Abure and voiding his primaries.

“The Appeal court judgment in Benin which Abure is celebrating and misleading the public merely lifted his suspension from his ward. He should provide the CTC of the Appeal Court judgment in Benin. Recall also that the FCT High Court earlier restrained Abure and 3 others of the National Working Committee of the LP on the 6th of April 2023 following a criminal indictment against him bothering on forgery, perjury, criminal conspiracy and financial malfeasance.

“As the conscience , we align with the judgment of the Appeal Court and urge INEC to publish the Chief Ukaegbu Ikechukwu Joseph ‘s name as the duly – nominated Candidate of the Labour Party for Imo State Nov governorship election.”
