Court Removes Abure, Directs INEC to Recognise Nenadi Usman–Led Labour Party Leadership
A Federal High Court in Abuja has removed Julius Abure as the National Chairman of the Labour Party, ruling that his tenure has expired and is no longer valid in law.
In its judgment, the court ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to immediately recognise the leadership of the party under the Senator Nenadi Usman–led National Caretaker Committee as the lawful authority of the Labour Party.
The court held that the decision to replace Abure followed due process and was consistent with existing legal precedents, rejecting arguments that the matter was purely an internal party affair beyond judicial review.
With this ruling, the Nenadi Usman–led committee is now recognized as the legitimate leadership of the Labour Party, pending the conduct of a properly constituted national convention to elect a substantive executive.
