The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has reinstated Sly Ezeokenwa as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), in compliance with a recent Supreme Court ruling.
The decision was made during INEC’s meeting on Tuesday, following the Supreme Court’s judgement affirming Ezeokenwa as the authentic leader of the party.
In November, a five-member panel of the Supreme Court, led by Justice Stephen Adah, ruled unanimously that Edozie Njoku had no legal basis to parade himself as APGA’s National Chairman.

The court affirmed Ezeokenwa as the rightful chairman of the party.
A statement issued by INEC’s National Commissioner and Chairman of the Information and Voter Education Committee, Sam Olumekun, confirmed the development.
“The Commission met today, Tuesday, 17th December 2024. Among other issues, the meeting discussed the leadership issue in the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, which has been the subject of litigation.
“The Commission has been served with the judgement of the Supreme Court with Appeal No. SC/CV/824/2024 APGA & ANOR vs OYE & ORS, delivered on 27th November 2024, recognising Barr. Sylvester (Sly) Ezeokenwa as the chairman of the party.
“In compliance with the judgement of the apex court, the Commission has restored Barr. Ezeokenwa as the Chairman of APGA and restored his name on our website accordingly,” the statement read.
The Supreme Court ruling resolves a prolonged leadership tussle within APGA, ensuring clarity on the party’s national leadership.
