The ruling by the Court of Appeal in Abuja, which recognized Julius Abure as the National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP), has been overturned by the Supreme Court.
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.
