Sylvester Ezeokenwa has been reinstated as the national chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), following a decision by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Tuesday, December 17.
INEC’s National Commissioner and Chairman of the Information and Voter Education Committee, Sam Olumekun, confirmed that the commission had received the Supreme Court’s ruling regarding the matter. The judgment, with Appeal No. SC/CV/824/2024 APGA & ANOR vs OYE & ORS, was delivered on November 27, 2024, and directed that Ezeokenwa be recognized as the legitimate national chairman of the party.
“In compliance with the Supreme Court’s ruling, the Commission has restored Barr. Ezeokenwa as the Chairman of APGA and updated our website accordingly,” Olumekun stated.
The ruling also led to the withdrawal of recognition for Victor Oye’s faction and the dismissal of any enforceable rights for Njoku, who had been parading himself as the national chairman. Additionally, the court imposed a fine of N20 million each on the appellants.
This decision solidifies Ezeokenwa’s leadership within the party, ensuring that the dispute over the APGA chairmanship is resolved in his favor.
