A five-member panel of the apex court unanimously held that the Court of Appeal lacked the jurisdiction to pronounce Abure as the National Chairman of the LP, having earlier determined that the substance of the case was about the party’s leadership.

The apex court held that the issue of leadership was an internal matter of a party, over which the 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.

Abure made this statement at a media briefing by the factional National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, at the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja.

He also alleged that Obi and Otti had betrayed all that the Labour Party ever stood for, stressing that the duo now take sides with INEC which according to him disappointed Nigerians by bungling the will of the people during the 2023 elections.

According to Ifoh, the Labour Party needed to notify Nigerians about the recent developments in the party, especially, the efforts by some of the leaders of the party including the former presidential candidate of the party, Peter Obi and the Abia state governor, Alex Otti amongst others to annex power of the leadership of the party through unfathomable means using INEC as their tool.

He said many Nigerians still remember how the party bent over backwards to accommodate some of the leaders when their former political parties denied them tickets.
