The Young Democratic Party (YDP) has denied initiating any contempt proceedings against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mrs Khairat Animashaun-Ajiboye, made the clarification while briefing newsmen in Abuja on Wednesday.
Animashaun-Ajiboye said the alleged contempt proceeding against INEC was the handiwork of impostors and usurpers who were not members of the party.
She said, “Our attention has been drawn to some actions being taken by meddlesome interlopers, lovers of chaos, confusionists, pretenders and fraudsters purporting to come from YDP.
“We want to put the record straight that the Chairman of YDP is Mrs. Georgina Dakpokpo, and it can be confirmed from the official record of INEC.
“The official logo of YDP is a tractor, green and white background.
“The Court of Appeal never at any time gave order to INEC to backdate our certificate of registration to 2014.
“YDP did not officially initiate contempt proceedings against INEC’s Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu; it was done by confusionists. Animashaun-Ajiboye said that by the party’s first registered constitution, an amendment to a constitution could only be done at a convention and YDP’s convention held on Feb. 11, 2017, amended and ratified its constitution.”
The party’s spokesman urged the public to be alert and report to the nearest police station any time any person or group other than the genuine YDP officials parade themselves as representatives of the party.
