Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Ahead of the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), a former National Secretary of the Caretaker\/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee of the party, Senator John Akpanudoedehe has warned the National Chairman of the party, Abdullahi Adamu against admitting a factional Chairman of APC in Akwa Ibom State, Stephen Ntukekpo into the National Executive Council (NEC) scheduled for Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Akpanudoedehe in a letter dated April 19 and addressed to Adamu, a copy of which was made available to journalists on Tuesday said the Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja made an order on the 7th of April, 2022 directing that the status quo be maintained with regards to the judgment of the trial court pending the determination of the extant motion for stay of execution as well as the motion challenging the jurisdiction of the court to entertain the appeal.<\/p>\n

Adamu recently swore in the Ntukekpo-led faction as the duly elected executive of the party in Akwa Ibom State, after the defunct Caretaker Committee led by Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni had sworn in Mr. Augustine Ekanem alongside other 36 state Chairmen of the party.<\/p>\n

Akpanudoedehe, in a letter through his counsel, Taiwo E. Taiwo (SAN) warned that admitting Ntukekpo into the NEC meeting would constitute a further non-compliance and total disregard to the extant orders of the Court of Appeal.<\/p>\n

He words: \u201cWe gather from him that the said order was served on your Legal Department on the 11 of April 2022 besides the fact that you were represented by your counsel in court when the order was made as is apparent on the face of the Order.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe further gather from him that despite the order, the 1st Respondent (Mr. Stephen Leo Ntukekpo) presented himself to the party to be sworn in as the Akwa Ibom State Chairman of the party and was obliged by the party. This was done despite the fact that both Stephen Leo Ntukekpo and the party are parties in the Appeal and therefore bound by the order of the Honourable Court of Appeal as it were.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former secretary said thereafter, Ntukekpo proceeded to Akwa Ibom State to swear in some other people as members of his Executive Council both at the State and Local Government Levels, thereby further altering in a serial manner the status quo that was ordered to be maintained by the Court of Appeal.<\/p>\n

Akpanudoedehe noted: \u201cOur client further Informed us and we verily believe him that the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the party has been scheduled to hold on the 20th April, 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cTake notice therefore that the attendance of the meeting by the 1st Respondent (Mr. Stephen Leo Ntukekpo) parading himself as the Akwa Ibom State Executive Chairman of the party shall constitute a further serial breach and or noncompliance with the extant order of the Court of Appeal.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe, therefore, advise against admitting him into the NEC meeting as doing otherwise would constitute a further non-compliance and total disregard to the extant orders of the Court of Appeal. Be warned\u201d<\/p>\n
