The factional chairman, Hon Adekunle Rufai Omoaje and secretary of the Action Alliance (AA), Suleiman AddulRasheed, have been given a seven-day ultimatum to resign from the party over alleged impersonation and forgery.
Some party leaders, under the aegis of the Concerned Stakeholders of the Action Alliance, also threatened to expel Omoaje and AbdulRasheed should they fail to quit honourably.
The group, among many other things, accused their embattled factional leaders of impersonating the party’s House of Representatives candidate for Bende Constituency at the National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal in Abia State.
In a statement signed by its president and secretary Dr. Lukman Mohammed and Alhaji Bako Jibrin, the party leaders said the pair are a disgrace to the Action Alliance and everything it represents.
Even when Ifeanyi Igbokwe announced that he would not be challenging the outcome of the election, the statement said Omoaje and AbdulRasheed filed a petition in his name.
The group, therefore, described the factional leaders as rascals who are out to tarnish the hard-earned reputation of the Action Alliance.
It also said that while a formal criminal complaint will soon be made to security agencies, Omoaje, and his cohorts must quit the party and end their dirty deals forthwith.
“We have received reports of two rascals impersonating our leaders and tarnishing the name of our great party. We don’t recognise them as our members.
“These two have brought shame and disrepute to the Action Alliance with their criminal activities ranging from impersonation, forgery, and bribery.”
