The Court of Appeal, sitting in Abuja on Wednesday affirmed Julius Abure as the National Chairman of Labour Party, LP.
The appellate court also set aside the judgement of the FCT High Court which restrained Abure and two others from parading themselves as national officers of the party.
Justice Hamman Barka held that the high court was wrong to have assumed jurisdiction on the matter.
Delivering judgment in the appeal filed by Abure challenging the decision of the high court, Justice Barka, leading a three-member panel of Justices of the Court of Appeal, held that Abure’s appeal had merit and was accordingly allowed.
He said, “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 to Abure.
