The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has reportedly affirmed the removal of Julius Abure as the national chairman of the Labour Party, LP.
The Court also ordered the Independent National Electoral
Commission, INEC, to recognize the Senator Nenadi Usman-led National Caretaker
Committee as the party’s lawful leadership.
The development was disclosed by human rights lawyer,
Inibehe Effiong, in a post on X, where he said he was present at the Federal
High Court when the judgment was delivered in a related case.
Effiong stated that Justice Lifu delivering judgment on
Wednesday, upheld the Nenadi Usman-led committee as the only valid and lawful
leadership of the Labour Party, reaffirming that Abure’s tenure had elapsed in
line with an earlier Supreme Court judgment.
The court consequently directed INEC to immediately
recognize Nenadi Usman as the party’s leader.
He wrote: “I am currently before the Federal High Court in
Abuja for a case. I listened to judgement delivered in an another case.
“Honourable Justice Lifu has just upheld Senator Nnadi
Esther Usman-led National Caretaker Committee as the only valid and lawful
leadership of the Labour Party.
“The Judge reaffirmed that by the Supreme Court’s judgement,
Julius Abure’s tenure had since elapsed.
“The judge ordered INEC to recognize Nnadi Usman forthwith.”
