The leadership of the Action People’s 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 yesterday, and signed by the party’s state Publicity Secretary, Hon. Steve Nnadi, APP described the unanimous decision of the appellate court as a triumph for democracy, constitutional order, the rule of law, and Nigeria’s multi party democratic system.
The statement noted that the judgement reaffirmed the independence of the judiciary and restored public confidence in the nation’s democratic institutions.
The Imo State APP leadership noted that the judgment has further strengthened the confidence of its members, supporters, and stakeholders across the state, reaffirming that the party remains legally recognised and fully prepared to participate in all electoral processes leading to the 2027 general elections.
The statement read: “The judgment has reaffirmed the independence of the judiciary and restored public confidence in the nation’s democratic institutions.
