Edozie Njoku, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, has said in four days, the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, will be jailed for contempt.
Njoku, who addressed newsmen in Abuja, explained that the court has already given Professor Mahmood the order to recognize him (Njoku) as the National Chairman of APGA.
He made it known that the return to the court on 29th of November 2023, would be sentencing of the INEC boss and the others to jail for failing to obey the court’s order.
The party Chair said: “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..”
