A Federal High Court in Abuja has reinstated Julius Abure as the National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP).
The court ruled that the Labour Party’s 2024 national convention, held in Nnewi where Abure was re-elected, was conducted in accordance with Nigerian laws.
This decision was announced on Tuesday in a statement by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh.
Justice Emeka Nwite, who delivered the judgement, directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to officially recognize the Abure-led National Working Committee of the Labour Party and accord it all necessary privileges.
Previously, INEC had refused to recognize Abure’s leadership, claiming that his re-election at the March 2024 convention violated both the Nigerian Constitution and the Electoral Act.
