This applies to all the so-called Excos in the instance. In the eyes of the law, these guys are impostors.  Furthermore, it would have been better and civil if they had indicated that they have instructed their loyalists and lawyers to withdraw all pending litigation initiated  against the bonafide NNPP first thing on Monday morning the 30th of March 2026.

Unfortunately the pressure were so much on him not to do so due to percunary interest of the unemployed characters around him.
