Appeal Court Affirms Abure as Labour Party’s National Chairman | #NwokeukwuMascot

ABUJA – The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja, on Friday, affirmed Mr. Julius Abure as the authentic National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP).



The appellate court, in a unanimous decision by a three-member panel, upheld the October 8 judgment of the Federal High Court in Abuja, which directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to grant the LP, under Abure’s leadership, all the rights and privileges accorded to a duly registered political party in the country. According to the appellate court, it found no reason to overturn the judgment delivered in Abure’s favor by Justice Emeka Nwite.



It will be recalled that following a leadership crisis that rocked the LP, the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party resolved to remove Abure as the National Chairman. To fill the leadership vacuum, the party constituted a 29-member caretaker committee, with former Finance Minister, Senator Esther Nenadi Usman, as Chairman and Hon. Darlington Nwokocha as Secretary.



The decision was the outcome of an expanded stakeholders’ meeting of the party hosted in Umuahia by Governor Alex Otti of Abia State. The meeting, where Abure was sacked from office, was chaired by his former ally and the party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi. Dissatisfied with the decision, Abure approached the high court to validate his position as the National Chairman of the party.



In an affidavit he personally deposed to in support of the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/1271/2024, Abure told the court that following the death of the former National Chairman of the LP, he was lawfully elected as the Acting National Chairman at a NEC meeting held in Benin City, Edo State, on March 29, 2021.



He informed the court that on April 18, 2023, at a NEC meeting held in Asaba, Delta State, and duly monitored by INEC, it was resolved that the tenures of state chairmen whose terms had expired be renewed.



He stated that at the same meeting, some members engaged in anti-party activities were expelled, and replacements for vacant positions created as a result of the expulsions were made.



Abure averred that, in line with a consensus reached at the meeting, the party subsequently held its National Convention on March 27, 2024, in Nnewi, Anambra State, where he was lawfully elected as the National Chairman of the LP. He added that the party, under his leadership, produced candidates for governorship elections in both Edo and Ondo states.



According to the plaintiff, on June 28, 2024, INEC issued a notice to him and 18 other National Chairmen of political parties for the inspection of sensitive election materials for the Ondo and Edo State governorship polls.
