The Federal High Court in Abuja has affirmed the removal of Julius Abure as national chairman of the Labour Party (LP) and recognized the Senator Nenadi Usman-led National Caretaker Committee as the party’s lawful leadership
Human rights lawyer Inibehe Effiong shared the development on X, saying he was present in court when the judgment was delivered.
Effiong explained that Justice Lifu, delivering the ruling on Wednesday, upheld the Nenadi Usman-led committee as the only valid leadership of the Labour Party, confirming that Abure’s tenure had expired in line with a previous Supreme Court ruling.
The court also directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to immediately recognize Nenadi Usman as the party’s leader.
Effiong wrote: “I am currently before the Federal High Court in Abuja for a case. I listened to judgment delivered in another case. Honourable Justice Lifu has just upheld Senator Nenadi Esther Usman-led National Caretaker Committee as the only valid and lawful leadership of the Labour Party. The Judge reaffirmed that by the Supreme Court’s judgment, Julius Abure’s tenure had since elapsed. The judge ordered INEC to recognize Nenadi Usman forthwith.”
