Senator Nenadi Usman, the chairman of the Labour Party Caretaker Committee, has responded to the Supreme Court’s ruling dismissing Julius Abure as the Party’s national chairman.
According to Usman, the ruling marks a major turning point for the country’s democracy and a win for the rule of law.
The ruling of the Court of Appeal in Abuja, which acknowledged Abure as the National Chairman of the LP, was reportedly overturned by the Apex Court.
The Court of Appeal lacked the authority to designate Abure as the National Chairman of the LP, according to a five-member bench of the highest court.
But according to the Chairman of the Caretaker Committee, LP is unwavering in its resolve to build a new Nigeria.
It said: “The recent ruling by the Supreme Court, which allowed the appeal filed by Senator Nenadi Usman, declaring it meritorious, while dismissing the cross-appeal filed by the Abure faction of the Labour Party as unmeritorious, is a victory for the rule of law and a significant milestone for our democracy.
“It is important to emphasize 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.
“The Labour Party remains one indivisible family, steadfast in its mission to create a New Nigeria founded on justice, equity, and people-centered governance.
“We call on all party members, supporters, and stakeholders to remain calm, focused, and committed to the democratic ideals that bind us.
“A New Nigeria is POssible!”
