It has been reported that the Federal High Court in Abuja has confirmed Julius Abure’s removal from his position as national chairman of the Labour Party (LP).

Additionally, the Court mandated that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) acknowledge the National Caretaker Committee led by Senator Nenadi Usman as the legitimate leadership of the party.

Human rights lawyer Inibehe Effiong revealed the development in a post on X, stating that he was at the Federal High Court when the judgment was issued in a related case.

Effiong noted that Justice Lifu, in delivering the judgment on Wednesday, confirmed the committee led by Nenadi Usman as the sole valid and lawful leadership of the Labour Party, and reiterated that Abure’s tenure had ended in accordance with a previous Supreme Court ruling.

As a result, the court instructed INEC to acknowledge Nenadi Usman as the party leader without delay.

He wrote: “I am currently before the Federal High Court in Abuja for a case. I listened to judgement delivered in an another case.

“Honourable Justice Lifu has just upheld Senator Nnadi Esther Usman-led National Caretaker Committee as the only valid and lawful leadership of the Labour Party.

“The Judge reaffirmed that by the Supreme Court’s judgement, Julius Abure’s tenure had since elapsed.

“The judge ordered INEC to recognize Nnadi Usman forthwith.”
