The Supreme Court has sacked the Labour Party National Chairman, Julius Abure.
Newsone Nigeria reports that the Supreme Court has set aside the judgment of the Court of Appeal in Abuja, which recognized Julius Abure as the National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP).
This online news platform understands that a five-member panel of the apex court in a unanimous judgment on Friday, April 4, 2025, held that the Court of Appeal lacked the jurisdiction to pronounce Abure as the National Chairman of the LP, having earlier determined that the substance of the case was about the party’s leadership.
The apex court ruled that issues of leadership are internal affairs of a political party over which courts lack jurisdiction and noted that Abure’s tenure had since expired.
It allowed the appeal filed by Senator Esther Nenadi Usman and one other, declaring it meritorious.
The Supreme Court also dismissed the cross-appeal filed by the Abure faction of the LP for being unmeritorious.
