The National Chairman of the Action Alliance Party, Hon. Adekunle Rufai Omoaje, has reaffirmed his position as the party’s leader, stating that his authority remains unquestionable while expressing confidence in the party’s unity and future.
In a statement addressing recent developments, Omoaje denounced alleged attempts to mislead the public with plans for an illegal national convention. He emphasized that the expulsion of a party chieftain was carried out in accordance with legal procedures and upheld by the courts.
“Therefore, he remains permanently expelled from Action Alliance and has no authority to act on behalf of the party,” he stated.
Expressing gratitude for the party’s recent legal victories, he added, “I extend my heartfelt appreciation to all our members for the overwhelming celebration of our recent successes. The echoes of our triumphs still resonate, and with unwavering strategies and steadfast faith, I am confident we shall continue to overcome any challenges ahead. May the joy of these victories also bring prosperity and fulfillment in your personal lives.”
Omoaje reiterated the legitimacy of the party’s leadership, citing the National Convention held on October 7, 2023, at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta, Ogun State. He noted that the convention adhered strictly to the party’s constitution and was supervised by the Independent National Electoral Commission, thereby affirming the current National Executive Committee as the sole legitimate leadership of the party.
“No subsequent actions or external entities can invalidate this duly constituted leadership or override the judicial rulings that have affirmed our legitimacy,” he asserted.
The National Chairman urged all party members to remain steadfast, united, and confident in the party’s strength. He cautioned against misinformation and the desperate efforts of those attempting to undermine the party’s progress.
“Action Alliance stands on a foundation of integrity, democracy, and the rule of law—principles that no individual can overturn. Let us continue moving forward with unwavering determination, knowing that our leadership is secure, our victories are legitimate, and our future is bright,” the statement added.
