At the end of the meeting, the following resolutions were approved and adopted as follows;

1. The NEC meeting after reviewing the 2024 National Convention of the Party held in Nnewi, Anambra State, conscious of the controversies arising therefrom, INEC disposition towards same, the numerous Court judgments, litigations, and in light of the Supreme Court Judgment, where the court stated clearly that issues of leadership of a Political Party is an internal affairs of the Party for which the Courts have no business.

The NEC in session note and recall vividly the following Supreme Court pronouncements:

The reason for the non-justiciability of internal disputes of a political party is simple, and that is that in the eyes of the law, a political party is a corperate entity with its constitution, rules, regulations, and guidelines which are binding on members who have joined freely have consented to be so bound (See Abegunde Vs. Ondo State House of Assembly & Ors. (2025) LPELR-24588 (SC).)

“Political Parties have put in place diverse kinds of internal dispute resolution mechanisms to handle any matter arising from disputes among members. Political parties and their members should therefore have faith in the internal dispute resolution mechanisms prescribed in their party constitution. Having subscribed to the membership of a Political party, a  member of a Political party has by his membership agreed to be bound by the constitution and the decision of the party contained in its guidelines. So the Politician must comply with the provisions of the party constitution on how disputes over the internal affairs of the party can be resolved in keeping with the legal doctrine that the internal affairs of a Political party are non-justiceable and therefore not subject to the judicial powers of the courts..”
