The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has formally recognized Barrister Sylvester (Sly) Ezeokenwa as the Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) following a Supreme Court judgment.
The decision was made during the Commission’s meeting on Tuesday, December 17, 2024, where the leadership crisis within APGA, which has been a subject of protracted litigation, was a key agenda item.
INEC confirmed receiving the Supreme Court judgment in Appeal No. SC/CV/824/2024, delivered on November 27, 2024, in the case of *APGA & ANOR vs OYE & ORS*. The apex court affirmed Ezeokenwa’s position as the party chairman.
“In compliance with the judgment of the Supreme Court, the Commission has restored Barr. Ezeokenwa as the Chairman of APGA and updated his name on our website accordingly,” read the statement signed by Sam Olumekun, National Commissioner and Chairman of INEC’s Information and Voter Education Committee.
