The All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, has announced that within four days, the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC) Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, will be incarcerated for contempt.
Speaking to journalists in Abuja on Friday, the National Chairman of APGA, Edozie Njoku, stated that the court has already ordered the INEC Chairman to recognize him (Njoku) as the National Chairman.
Njoku further declared that on November 29, 2023, the court will sentence the INEC Chairman and others to jail for their failure to comply with the court’s directive.
Emphasizing the importance of upholding the Judiciary, Njoku called on Nigerians to support the institution and protect it from individuals who seek to compromise justice and tarnish its reputation.
Njoku also highlighted that on November 9, 2023, Chief Victor Oye accused him of fabricating a Supreme Court Judgment, leading to his brief confinement in Suleja Prison for two days.
“Today is November 24, 2023. That is, 5 days away from November 29, 2023, the adjourned date for Mahmood to be sent to jail.
“By its judgment, the Court found Mahmood and Oye culpable, but out of leniency gave them a 14-day window to purge themselves or prepare for jail.
“Rather than do the needful, INEC led by Yakubu Mahmood in collaboration with Oye, headed to the Appeal Court, boasting that they have procured enough Judges to ensure that the contempt charge dangling over their heads end up as an exercise in futility.
“However, there are far-reaching implications to INEC’s posturing and grandstanding. It signals an internment to competent Court orders in Nigeria.
“INEC led by Mahmood, simply wants to prove to the world that it has immunity..”
