The Chairman of the Labour Party (LP) Caretaker Committee, Senator Nenadi Usman, has described the recent Supreme Court ruling that removed Julius Abure as the party’s National Chairman as a triumph for democracy and the rule of law.
Supreme Court Nullifies Appeal Court’s Judgment
According to reports from LMSINT MEDIA, the Supreme Court overturned the earlier ruling by the Court of Appeal in Abuja, which had upheld Abure’s leadership of the Labour Party.
A five-member panel of justices ruled that the Court of Appeal had no jurisdiction to affirm Abure as the National Chairman, making the ruling void. This decision has further clarified the legal standing within the party’s leadership structure.
Usman Urges Unity in Labour Party
Reacting to the verdict, Senator Nenadi Usman emphasized that the ruling is not about personal victory but rather about upholding the principles of democracy. In a statement, she expressed the need for party members to unite and work towards a common goal.
“The Supreme Court’s judgment, which ruled in favor of our appeal while dismissing the counter-appeal from the Abure-led faction, is a significant moment for democracy in Nigeria. It highlights the importance of legal processes in guiding political leadership.”
She further stated:
“This is not a time for division or celebration of winners and losers. The Labour Party remains committed to its vision of a New Nigeria built on justice, fairness, and governance that prioritizes the people.”
A Call for Party Members to Remain Focused
Usman reassured LP supporters that the party remains unified and committed to fostering democracy. She called on all members, stakeholders, and supporters to stay calm and uphold the party’s core values.
“We urge all members of the Labour Party to remain focused and united in our shared vision for a better Nigeria. Let’s work together to strengthen the party and ensure that we continue advocating for policies that benefit the masses.”
What This Means for Labour Party’s Future
With this Supreme Court ruling, the Labour Party now has a clear leadership structure, allowing it to focus on party growth, strategic planning, and future elections. Political analysts believe this decision will shape the party’s trajectory ahead of the next electoral cycle.
