The leadership of the Action Peoples Party (APP) in Imo State, under the chairmanship of Hon. Ernest Njesi, has applauded the landmark judgment of the Court of Appeal setting aside the Federal High Court ruling that ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to deregister the APP and four other political parties.
The party commended the Justices of the Court of Appeal for their courage, impartiality, and unwavering commitment to justice by declaring the earlier judgment a nullity and restoring the legal status of the affected political parties.
In a statement issued on Tuesday and signed by Hon. Steve Nnadi, the State Publicity Secretary of the party, the APP described the unanimous decision of the appellate court as a triumph for democracy, constitutional order, the rule of law and Nigeria’s multiparty democratic system.
According to the statement, the judgment of the appellate court reaffirmed the independence of the judiciary and restored public confidence in the nation’s democratic institutions.
The leadership of the Imo State chapter of the party noted that the judgment had further strengthened the confidence of its members, supporters, and stakeholders across the state ahead of the 2027 general elections, reaffirming that the APP remains a legally recognised political party and fully prepared to participate in electoral processes.
The statement read, “The judgment has reaffirmed the independence of the judiciary and restored public confidence in the nation’s democratic institutions.
