The Court of Appeal, Abuja, has affirmed Barrister Julius Abure as the authentic National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP).
The three-member panel in a judgment on Friday , 17 January, 2025 upheld the earlier decision of Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court, Abuja, ordering the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to accord the party under Abure all the rights and privileges of a political party duly registered in Nigeria.
The appellate court upheld the March 2024 Nnewi convention that produced the Abure-led national leadership.
Also a notification on the Labour Party’s X handle on social media read, ”Barr Julius Abure remains the LP National Chairman, Appeal Court Rules”
