The Labour Party caucus in the House of Representatives has welcomed the Supreme Court’s judgment removing Julius Abure as the party’s National Chairman. This decision is seen as a catalyst for stability and reinvention within the party. The caucus, led by Hon. Afam Victor Ogene, praised the judgment, stating it’s a warning to leaders who abuse their power in a democracy.
The Supreme Court’s unanimous decision ruled that the Court of Appeal lacked jurisdiction to declare Abure the National Chairman, as the case centered on the party’s internal leadership structure. Ogene described the ruling as a “veritable tonic for the revitalization of the party,” which has faced internal leadership crises.
