A communique from the party named Adekunle Omo-Aje as its authentic national chairman.

• September 12, 2021

The Action Alliance says there is no factional chairman within the party as being claimed by some people.

The denial is in a communique issued after the party’s leadership meeting on Saturday in Osogbo.

Signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Olu Omotosho, the communique said Kenneth Udeze, who was parading himself as a factional chairman, had been expelled from the party.

It stated that Mr Udeze was sacked from the AA on February 14, 2020, during the party’s national convention in Osogbo.

Mr Udeze, according to the communique, has since his expulsion been parading himself as the party’s national chairman.

It said that Mr Udeze never challenged his suspension, neither did he challenge his eventual expulsion from the party.

The party said a court of competent jurisdiction had on several occasions affirmed Mr Udeze’s suspension from the AA.

The communique urged the public to beware of activities of anyone parading himself as the national chairman, apart from Adekunle Omo-Aje.

According to AA, Mr Omo-Aje is the only recognised party chairman.
