Obiora Ifoh, National Publicity Secretary of the party said ” The Court decided that the two appeals heard today (1) Senator Esther Nenadi Usman & others V Labour Party & others (CA/ABJ/CA/1217//2024 (2) INEC V Labour Party (CA/Abj/CV/1232/2024) could not determine the leadership of the Labour Party.
The court described the case as emanating from ” an incompetent suit” adding that the “trial Court lacked jurisdiction to have determined the leadership of the Labour Party and therefore a mere academic exercise”
The Court therefore directed parties to the appeals and the general public to “respect the judgement of the Court of Appeal delivered on the 13th of November, 2024 which affirmed Julius Abure as the National Chairman of the Labour Party”.
