Barrister Julius Abure
Reactions have begun to trail the removal of the former Labour Party Chairman, Barrister Julius Abure, who was today Friday, sacked by a five-member panel of the Court of Appeal in Abuja.
In a statement issued on Friday in Abuja, Usman expressed satisfaction with the judgment which found her appeal meritorious, while dismissing the cross-appeal filed by the Abure faction of the party.
“It is important to emphasise that this is not a time for triumphalism—there is no victor and no vanquished.
“What matters most is our shared commitment to the ideals and aspirations of the Labour Party and the Nigerian people.
“We must now come together, united in purpose and vision, to move the party forward,” she said.
According to her, Labour Party remains one indivisible family, steadfast in its mission to create a new Nigeria founded on justice, equity and people-centred governance.
Usman called on all party members, supporters and stakeholders to remain calm, focused and committed to the democratic ideals binding them together.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that, the apex court declared that the leadership issue was an internal affair of the party.
It, therefore, upheld the appeal filed before it by Usman who was appointed caretaker chairman of the party in September 2024.
