The Labour Party (LP) says the judgment of the supreme court on Friday is an endorsement of Julius Abure’s leadership.
Reacting to the verdict, Obiora Ifoh, the party’s national
publicity secretary, said Abure remains the LP chairman.
The apex court had nullified the judgment recognising Abure
as national chairman of the party.
The court held that the issue of leadership is an internal
affair of a party over which courts lack jurisdiction.
“Supreme Court strikes out Nenadi, Abure suits, says only
Political Parties can determine who their leaders are,” Ifoh wrote on the
party’s X page.
“It also said that the courts shouldn’t dabble into the
affairs of the political parties. Abure is still the National Chairman of the
Labour Party.”
The supreme court had allowed the appeal filed by Nenadi
Usman, a former senator representing Kaduna south, and one other — and held
that there were meritorious.
The apex court also dismissed the cross-appeal filed by the
Abure-led faction of the LP, describing it as lacking in merit.
