Labour Party has said the Supreme Court did not sack Julius Abure as the party’s chairman in the judgement delivered on Friday, contrary to speculations in the media
Obiora Ifoh, the National Publicity Secretary of Labour Party said this in a short statement he posted on the party’s social media platform following the Supreme Court judgment.
The Supreme Court had in a ruling on Friday set aside the judgment of the Court of Appeal in Abuja recognising Julius Abure as the National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP).
In the unanimous judgment, 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 LP having earlier found that the substance of the case was about the party’s leadership.
It held that issue of leadership was internal affair of a party over which courts lacked jurisdiction and noted that Abure’s tenure had since expired.
The court allowed the appeal filed by Senator Ester Nenadi Usman and one other and held that it was meritorious.
It proceeded to dismiss the cross-appeal filed by the Abure faction of the LP for being unmeritorious.
In his reaction to the judgement, Obiora reiterated that while the apex court throws out suit challenging Abure’s leadership of the party, it also ruled that courts should not dabble into internal affairs of political parties. n
The short statement reads “The Supreme Court strikes out Nenadi, Abure suits, says only Political Parties can determine who their leaders are. It also said that the courts shouldn’t dabble into the affairs of the political parties.
“Dr Barr Julius Abure is still the National Chairman of the Labour Party.”
