The Nenadi Usman-led Labour Party, LP, has called for the arrest of the Acting Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, May Agbamuche-Mbu, over alleged criminal collusion with Julius Abure.
Usman made the 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 the Interim National Spokesman, Toni Akeni, in Abuja on Thursday.
Akeni said the party has uncovered what it describes as yet another brazen assault on Nigeria’s democracy, allegedly orchestrated by Mrs Agbamuche-Mbu in collusion with Abure.
The Interim National Spokesman described the acting INEC boss’s decision to invite Abure to last Tuesday’s meeting with the leadership of the 18 registered political parties, despite a subsisting Supreme Court judgment, as reckless.
“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 judgment 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 statement said.
It challenged Mrs Agbamuche-Mbu to produce the so-called court order she relied upon to accord recognition to Abure.
