A Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday returned Julius Abure as the national chairman of the Labour Party, LP.
The court declared the 2024 Labour Party national convention
held in Nnewi, which re-elected Abure, is valid, stating that the convention
was in line with all laid down laws in Nigeria.
This was contained in a statement issued on Tuesday by the
party’s National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh.
According to the statement, Justice Emeka Nwite while
delivering the judgement, compelled the Independent National Electoral
Commission, INEC, to grant due recognition and all privileges to the Labour
Party’s National Working Committee as led by Abure.
INEC had announced that it did not
recognise Abure as the National Chairman of the Labour Party.
The Commission argued that the Abure-led LP leadership was
invalid, stating that the March 2024 National Convention that re-elected Abure
as chairman violated both the Nigerian Constitution and the Electoral Act.
