The Supreme Court, on Friday, sacked Julius Abure as the national chairman of the Labour Party (LP).
A five-member panel of the Supreme Court set aside the judgement of the Court of Appeal in Abuja, which recognised Abure’s leadership.
The apex court unanimously held that the Court of Appeal lacked 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 lacked jurisdiction.
It upheld the appeal filed against the judgement by Nenadi Usman, who was appointed the caretaker chairperson of the party in September 2024, and one other.
