Julius Abure has been sacked as the national chairman of the Labour Party by a court of appeal sitting in Owerri, Imo state’s capital.
The court recognized Lamidi Apapa as the National Chairman of the Labour Party, and also dismissed the governorship candidature of Senator Athan Achonu of Imo State, and others belonging to the Abure-led LP faction.
It also ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to immediately recognise and publish the names of all the governorship candidates produced by the Apapa-led National Working Committee in Imo, Bayelsa, and Kogi states.
