Justice M.A. Hassan from the Federal High Court FCT Division granted an interim injunction against Boniface Aneibonam's New Nigerian Peoples Party faction. The court prevented this group from organizing local, state, and zonal congresses under the party banner. Dr. Ajuji Ahmed's faction filed the ex parte motion alongside nineteen National Working Committee members. The ruling blocks Aneibonam and associates from conducting official party business.
The judge ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to ignore correspondence from the defendants and avoid monitoring their activities. INEC cannot engage with this faction in any official capacity. The case receives another hearing date of January 27, 2025. National Publicity Secretary Ladipo Johnson praised the decision as validation of legitimate party leadership and accused the defendants of serving opposition interests after their expulsion.
