The Labour Party, LP, led by Nenadi Usman, has demanded the arrest of the Acting Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Mrs May Agbamuche-Mbu, over alleged criminal collaboration with Julius Abure.
Usman made this call in a statement titled “INEC’s Acting Chair in Criminal Collusion with Julius Abure Over Fake Court Order – She Must Be Arrested,” which was signed by the Interim National Spokesman, Toni Akeni, in Abuja on Thursday.
Akeni stated that the party had uncovered what it described as another bold attack on Nigeria’s democracy, allegedly planned by Mrs Agbamuche-Mbu in cooperation with Abure.
The Interim National Spokesman criticised the acting INEC Chair’s decision to invite Abure to last Tuesday’s meeting with the leaders of the 18 registered political parties, despite an existing Supreme Court judgment, describing it as irresponsible.
“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.
The party further challenged Mrs Agbamuche-Mbu to present the alleged court order she claimed to have relied upon to give recognition to Abure.
