The Senator Nenadi Usman-led Labour Party (LP) is seeking the arrest of the Acting Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Mrs. May Agbamuche-Mbu, for alleged criminal collusion with Julius Abure.
Usman made this demand in a statement titled “INEC’s Acting Chair in Criminal Collusion with Julius Abure Over Fake Court Order – She Must Be Arrested”, signed by her spokesman, Ken Asogwa, in Abuja, today.
The party said it has uncovered yet another brazen assault on our democracy – this time orchestrated by Mrs. May Agbamuche-Mbu, in connivance with the former National Chairman of the LP, Mr Julius Abure, reports Vanguard.
Asogwa described the decision of the Ag. INEC boss to invite Abure to last Tuesday’s meeting with the leadership of the eighteen (18) registered political parties despite a subsisting Supreme Court judgement as reckless.
He said, “In her defence, she stated that INEC was merely obeying a court order, claiming that if the faction led by Senator Nenadi Usman presented a valid judgement in their favour, the Commission would comply accordingly.
“However, our independent and painstaking investigation has revealed that no such court order exists.
“While it is true that Mr Abure filed a suit against INEC in Suit No: CV/1914/2025, before Hon. Justice Kayode Agunloye of Court 40, FCT High Court, Gwagwalada, our formal request for a Certified True Copy (CTC) of any order purportedly recognising him as Chairman was met with a categorical confirmation from the court that no such order was ever granted.”
The party challenged Mrs. May Agbamuche-Mbu to produce “the so-called court order” that she relied upon to accord recognition to Julius Abure.
He said, “The truth is that INEC’s acting leadership has wilfully relied on a fabricated and non-existent order to justify an illegal and politically motivated act.
“Although it would have still been null and void even if such an order existed, especially in the face of the Supreme Court’s unambiguous judgement of 4th April 2025, which conclusively upheld Senator Nenadi Usman’s leadership of the Labour Party.”
While urging its members nationwide to prepare for a peaceful demonstration, the party urged the incoming INEC Chairman to address what it called “this injustice” and purge the system of persons who connive with politicians to subvert justice.
