Nigerian Labour Party Faces Leadership Crisis as Court Sacks Chairman
The Labour Party in Nigeria is embroiled in a leadership crisis following a court judgment that sacked Julius Abur as the national chairman. The court recognized a caretaker committee led by Esther Nenadi Usman as the valid leadership pending a national convention.
The ruling stemmed from a dispute over Abur's tenure expiration, with the court citing a Supreme Court judgment from April 2025. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is instructed to recognize the Usman-led committee until the party holds a convention.
The crisis has led to litigations and further legal battles, with the INEC maintaining its position based on the court's decision.
