Nigeria – In a significant decision delivered on Friday, the Supreme Court has overturned the earlier ruling by the Court of Appeal that recognized Julius Abure as the National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP).
The five-member panel of the apex court unanimously ruled that the Court of Appeal lacked the legal authority to affirm Abure’s position, stating that leadership issues within political parties are internal affairs and not matters for judicial intervention. The court also noted that Abure’s tenure had expired.
The appeal, filed by Senator Esther Nenadi Usman and another party member, was upheld, while the cross-appeal filed by Abure’s faction was dismissed as lacking merit.
More details are expected to emerge soon as reactions continue to trail the ruling.
