The Supreme Court has sacked Julius Abure as Labour Party Chairman.
ENigeria News reports that the Supreme Court in a landslide judgment set aside the judgment of the Court of Appeal in Abuja, recognizing Julius Abure as the National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP).
In a unanimous judgment on Friday, a five-member panel of the apex court held that the Court of Appeal lacked the jurisdiction to have pronounced Abure national chairman of the Labour Party (LP), having earlier found that the substance of the case was about the party’s leadership.
It held that the issue of leadership was an internal affair of a party over which the courts lacked jurisdiction to handle. The court further allowed the appeal filed by Senator Ester Nenadi Usman and one other and held that it was meritorious.
The apex court proceeded to dismiss the cross-appeal filed by the Abure faction of the Labour Party as being unmeritorious.
