Supreme Court sacks Abure as Labour Party’s National Chairman

Published on April 04, 2025 at 09:10 AM

The Supreme Court has set aside the judgment of the Court of Appeal in Abuja, which recognized Julius Abure as the National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP).

In a unanimous judgment on Friday, a five-member panel of the apex court held that the Court of Appeal lacked the jurisdiction to pronounce Abure as the National Chairman of the LP, having earlier determined that the substance of the case was about the party's leadership.

The court ruled that issues of leadership are internal affairs of a political party over which courts lack jurisdiction and noted that Abure's tenure had since expired.

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal filed by Senator Esther Nenadi Usman and one other, declaring it meritorious.

It also dismissed the cross-appeal filed by the Abure faction of the LP for being unmeritorious.

Details shortly.
