Action Alliance dissociates self from CUPP's allegations against INEC, APC

The Action Alliance (AA) has dissociated itself from the allegation made against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) by the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) that INEC has perfected plans to rig the 2023 general election in favour of the APC.

The CUPP had at a press conference  raised the alarm that INEC and APC are making moves to rig the election.

At the press conference, one Kenneth Udeze represented the AA.

But in its reaction, the party described Udeze as a frustrated politician who is seeking for relevance, having being expelled from the party.

The National chairman of the party, Hon Adekunle Rufai Omoaje in a statement issued on Thursday said the AA has nothing against INEC as erroneously claimed by the CUPP, saying that the leadership of the party has its ways of addressing sundry issues bothering on fundamental issues.

Omoaje said Udeze and his co-travellers are on their own and have no right to represent the party at any level, having being expelled from the party long time ago.

He said 'I Hon Adekunle Rufai Omoaje is the only authentic and recognized national chairman of the Action Alliance and by virtue of that, I am to represent the party at any level on any issue that affect the party.

"Kenneth Udeze who represented the AA at the so called Press conference is not known to the party. He's not our member and so, he has no moral justification to represent the party or speak on behalf of the AA. He was expelled many years ago and his expulsion still subsists till date. He's therefore an impersonator," he added.

The AA national Chairman maintained that the party is an organized one that gives preference to due process in all its activities.

He reaffirmed the confidence of the party in the Prof. Mahmud Yakub led INEC, stating that "we have our matured way of addressing issues if we have any with INEC. We have channels through which we make our grievances known to INEC as well."
