Supreme Court Sacks Abure as Labour Party National Chairman

Supreme Court has sacked Julius Abure as Labour Party National Chairman.

The Apex Court on Friday ruled that the Court of Appeal lacked  jurisdiction to pronounce Abure National Chairman of the Labour Party.

In a unanimous judgment, a five-member panel of the apex court held that the issue of leadership was an internal affair of a party over which courts lacked jurisdiction.

The court further allowed the appeal filed by Senator Nenadi Usman and one other and held that it was meritorious.

It also proceeded to dismiss the cross-appeal filed by the Abure group of the Labour Party for being unmeritorious
