ABURE HAPPY OVER COURT VICTORY, WANTS OBI TO HELP UNITE PARTY
Labour Party Chairman, Julius Abure, has issued a statement following the Federal High Court’s ruling affirming his leadership.
Abure expressed gratitude and forgiveness, calling the victory “a triumph for justice and democracy.”
“This victory is not just mine, but a victory for justice and democracy,” he said.
According to Abure, he will forgive those who attempted to undermine the party and engaged in character assassination.
He extended appreciation to the judiciary, particularly Justice Emeka Nwite, for upholding justice.
Abure urged Peter Obi, the party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, to help unite the party.
The Labour Party chairman emphasized the party’s commitment to fighting for the common man and Nigeria’s betterment. “With collective efforts, we will continue to work for a Labour Party that truly represents the hopes and aspirations of every Nigerian,” he said.
The Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday declared Abure as the substantive Chairman of the Labour Party.
The judgement was pronounced by Justice Emeka Nwite on Tuesday, affirming the Abure-led leadership and the March 2024 Nnewi convention that produced the national leadership.
The court ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recognize Abure as the legitimate chairman, overriding INEC’s earlier stance that Abure’s leadership was invalid.
