March 06, (THEWILL)- The Court of Appeal, Abuja division, has affirmed Julius Abure as the National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP).
A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) had restrained Abure and two others from parading themselves as national officers of the party.
Delivering judgment on Wednesday in the appeal filed by Abure, challenging the decision of the High Court, a three-member panel of Justices, led by Hamman Barka, held that the lower court was wrong to have assumed jurisdiction on the matter.
“The judgement of the lower court is hereby set aside,” Justice Barka held and awarded a cost of N1 million against the respondents to be paid to Abure.
