NNPP writes INEC, demands stoppage of elections

Mr Ndubuisi Ukpai esq, counsel for the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has written to INEC, demanding that the commission must stop all elections until its authentic logo is included in ballot papers for future elections.

This is contained in the letter made available to the media by the party on Wednesday in Lagos.

The letter, dated Aug. 25 and addressed to the INEC Chairman, was titled;: “RE: SUIT NO.: CV/3210/2025; New Nigeria Peoples Party VS Independent National Electoral Commission: Continued Representation of the Authentic Leadership of the NNPP and the Need To Maintain Status Quo Pending Determination of the Suit for Judicial Review”.

It stated that INEC should refrain from conducting all elections until it reflected the true and correct logo of the NNPP and participation of the party under the leadership of Dr Major Agbo as National Chairman.

“We remain counsel to the authentic leadership of the NNPP, under the national chairmanship of Agbo, and write at their instance.

“You will recall our previous correspondence, wherein we drew the commission’s attention to the imperative of strict compliance with subsisting judgments of competent courts, affirming the authentic leadership of the NNPP.

“Regrettably, in the face of INEC’s continued reluctance to give effect to the said judgments, our client was constrained to institute judicial review proceedings against the commission.”

According to the party, Pursuant to the said action, on Aug. 15, 2025, the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory graciously granted our client leave to bring an application for an order of mandamus, compelling INEC’s compliance.

“Consequent upon this, an Originating Motion on Notice had been duly filed and served on the commission.
