BREAKING: Court of Appeal Affirms Julius Abure as LP’s National Chairman. 

By Ken Chiwendu

The Court of Appeal, Abuja Division has affirmed Julius Abure as the national chairman of the Labour Party (LP).

Delivering judgement in an appeal filed by Abure challenging the lower court decision on Wednesday, a three – member panel of Justices led by Justice Hamman Barka also set aside the judgement of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory which restrained Abure and two others from parading themselves as national officers of the party.

The court held that the lower court had no jurisdiction to entertain the matter and thereby set aside the decision of the court.

It also awarded a cost of N1m fine in favour of the Labour party Chairman.
