The Supreme Court has sacks Barr. Julius Abure from his position as the National Chairman of the Labour Party. The Supreme Court has overturned the decision made by the Court of Appeal in Abuja, which acknowledged Julius Abure as the National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP). In a unanimous decision, a five-judge panel from the supreme court determined that the Court of Appeal did not have the authority to declare Abure as the National Chairman of the Labour Party, as it was previously established that the core issue of the case pertained to the party's leadership. The supreme court determined that matters of leadership are internal to a party and fall outside the court's jurisdiction. The court also approved the appeal submitted by Senator Nenadi Usman and another individual, determining that the appeal had merit. The Abure group's cross-appeal from the Labour Party was also rejected as it lacked merit.
