Expelled members lack constitutional rights to represent us —AA

From: Femi Oyelola , Kaduna

The Action Alliance (AA)has taken a swipe at a former member of the party, Mr Kenneth Udeze for allegedly misinforming the public and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in particular on issues that affect the party.
This was contained in a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Olu Omotoso.
The statement stated that Udeze, having been suspended and subsequently expelled from the party, lacks the moral and constitutional rights to represent the party or speak on its behalf.
The leadership of the party also expressed concerns on why the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) could give recognition to an expelled member of the party and failed to recognize the authentic national chairman of the party, Hon Adekunle Rufai Omoaje whose election was held at the last national convention of the party in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital and supervised by INEC as provided by the constitution.
The party noted that the electoral body erred by giving undue recognition to Udeze despite furnishing it (INEC) with all the court judgments that affirmed the expulsion of Udeze.
The party recalled that the Federal High Court sitting in Abeokuta, the Abuja division of the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court had all affirmed the expulsion of Udeze, stressing that the recognition given to Udeze by INEC amounts to contempt of court.
Reacting to a recent statement issued by Udeze where he apologized to INEC on behalf of the AA, the party stressed that the statement was a mere vituperation as Udeze is not a member of the AA and as such lacks the right to speak on behalf of the party, saying that the AA has a structure through which it operates.
Omotos, who spoke on behalf of the party, accused Udeze of impersonation over his claim to be the national chairman of the party.
