The Labour Party (LP) has said that Julius Abure is still its National Chairman, despite a Supreme Court ruling on Friday that addressed the party’s leadership issue.
Earlier, a five-man panel of the Supreme Court gave a unanimous judgment, ruling that the Court of Appeal did not have the authority to declare Abure as the party’s Chairman.
The judges explained that leadership matters within a political party are internal issues, and courts should not interfere.Politics-themed apparel
The court upheld an appeal by former senator Nenadi Usman and another party member.
However, shortly after the judgment, the Labour Party responded in a statement shared on its official X (formerly Twitter) handle. The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, said the court did not remove Abure as chairman.
The statement read:
