The Labour Party Chairman, Julius Abure, has reacted to the Federal High Court’s ruling affirming his leadership.
DAILY POST reports that the Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday declared Abure as the substantive Chairman of the Labour Party.
The court directed the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC, to acknowledge Abure as the legitimate chairman, contradicting INEC’s previous position that Abure’s leadership was invalid.
In a statement on Tuesday, Abure expressed his gratitude, calling the victory “a triumph for justice and democracy.”
“This victory is not just mine, but a victory for justice and democracy. It confirms that the rule of law prevails and that our party’s leadership remains legitimate.
He further thanked the judiciary, particularly Justice Emeka Nwite, for upholding justice.
“I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to the judiciary, particularly Justice Emeka Nwite, for his courage and integrity in delivering a judgment that upheld justice and resisted external pressure.
“His well-articulated judgement has restored our faith in the judiciary and given us hope for democracy in Nigeria,” the statement read.
Abure stated that he would forgive those who tried to undermine the party and participated in character assassination.
He also urged Peter Obi, the party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, to assist in uniting the party.
“I call on Peter Obi, the former Presidential candidate of our party to help unite the party,” he wrote.
