The judgment of the Court of Appeal in Abuja recognising Julius Abure as the National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP) has been set aside by the Supreme Court.
The verdict was given via a five-member panel of the apex court in a unanimous decision where it was stated that the Court of Appeal lacked the jurisdiction to have pronounced Abure National as the LP National Chairman after finding out earlier that the substance of the case was about the party’s leadership.
According to the Supreme Court, the issue of leadership was an internal affair of a party over which courts lacked jurisdiction.

The apex court further allowed the appeal filed by Senator Nenadi Usman and one other and held that it was meritorious.
The cross-appeal filed by the Abure group of the Labour Party was also dismissed for being unmeritorious.
