Obi, LP caretaker committee to appeal judgment affirming Abure’s chairmanship

The court also compelled the Independent National Electoral Commission to restore the legitimacy and privileges of the party leadership.

The court ruled that the Nnewi convention earlier held in March was constitutional and in line with the laid down laws of the country.

The PUNCH also reported that Abure had expressed his readiness for reconciliation in the wake of the judgment by appealing to Obi to help pacify the party bigwigs and other aggrieved members.

Reacting in a terse statement released in Abuja on Tuesday night, the Chairman of the Labour Party Caretaker Committee, Senator Nenadi Usman, announced that they will appeal the judgment.

While urging the party faithful to remain calm, Usman disclosed the decision to appeal the judgment was consciously taken after they met with Obi to deliberate on the development.
