The Court Of Appeal in Abuja has affirmed Julius Abure as the Chairman of the Labour Party (LP).

The Appellate Court also set aside the decision of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court which last year, restrained Abure and two others from parading themselves as national officers of the party.

In the judgement delivered by Justice Hamma Barka, the Appellate Court held that the high court was wrong to have assumed jurisdiction on the matter, and then awarded a cost of One million Naira in favour of Abure and against the respondent, Lamidi Apapa.
