Political Tussle: Abur's Faction Takes Over Labour Party Amidst Security Presence
In a political development, Julius Abur's faction, supported by a court ruling, took over the Labour Party Secretariat in Abuja amidst tight security. Nenadi Usman, the former leader, acknowledged the change but highlighted ongoing legal uncertainties.
The Federal High Court in Abuja had ruled that Abur's tenure as the national chairman had expired, leading to the recognition of a caretaker committee led by Usman by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Usman's camp plans to appeal the court decision, while Abur's faction vows to challenge INEC's recognition of Usman.
The leadership tussle, with implications for the 2023 general elections, underscores the internal strife within the party.
