Supreme court Sacks Abure as LP national chair

Sponsored Advert

The supreme court has nullified  the judgment of the court of appeal in Abuja which recognised Julius Abure as the national chairman of the Labour Party (LP).

In a verdict delivered on Friday, a five-member panel of the apex court unanimously held that the appellate court lacked the jurisdiction to have affirmed Abure as chairman of the LP, since 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 courts lack jurisdiction.
