The National Rescue Movement (NRM) expressed its support for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), asserting that the electoral body has adhered to all court orders regarding the party's affairs. During a press conference held in Abuja, the NRM's National Chairman, Prince Chinedu Obi, emphasized the importance of maintaining the integrity and leadership of the party amidst claims from certain individuals attempting to exploit legal loopholes for personal gain. He categorized these actions as 'forum shopping' and linked them to attempts to destabilize the party's structural framework.

Obi highlighted the ongoing legal challenges faced by the party, which are reportedly instigated by discontented members seeking to manipulate the judicial system to their advantage. Furthermore, he called on the Chief Justice of Nigeria to intervene by protecting the judiciary from being used as a tool for political sabotage. The NRM leader reinforced the party's position that INEC is in full compliance with a previous Federal High Court judgment, countering allegations suggesting otherwise.

This situation reflects the broader challenges within Nigerian political parties, where internal conflicts can escalate to the point of legal action. The NRM's public stance not only seeks to safeguard its leadership but also aims to foster trust in the electoral process overseen by INEC. Their warning against judicial exploitation underscores a significant concern regarding the sanctity of the judicial system in political disputes, which may have implications for party cohesion and electoral integrity in Nigeria.
