BREAKING: Supreme Court sacks Abure as LP chairman
By Adamu Aliyu Aliyu/ABUJA//
The Supreme Court on Friday removed Julius Abure as the National Chairman of the Labour Party.
In a unanimous judgment, a five-member panel of the Supreme Court set aside the decision of the Court of Appeal in Abuja, which had recognised Abure as the party’s national chairman.
The apex court in its decision, held that the appellate court lacked the jurisdiction to make such a declaration, given that the substance of the case concerned the internal leadership of the party.
The court emphasised that matters relating to party leadership are internal affairs, over which the judiciary has no jurisdiction.
