 Supreme court ruling path to Labour Party's peace and unity - Otti


Abia State Governor Alex Otti has welcomed the Supreme Court's decision to remove Julius Abure as National Chairman of the Labour Party. According to Governor Otti, this ruling will usher in a new era of peace, unity, and order within the party. The Governor believes the Supreme Court's judgment vindicates the party's leadership, particularly since Abure's National Working Committee tenure had long expired.


This led to the establishment of a National Caretaker Committee, headed by Esther Nenadi Usman and Darlington Nwokocha, with a vision to foster peace and unity while strengthening the party. The Supreme Court's decision is seen as a step towards restoring peace and unity within the Labour Party, validating the party's leadership and the decision to set up a caretaker committee.


Governor Otti has invited former national officers to join hands with the National Executive Committee and the National Caretaker Committee to propel the party forward. He expressed commitment to building an inclusive Labour Party, free from discrimination and favoritism, and commended the Supreme Court for its sound judgment, which met the expectations of genuine Labour Party members and Nigerians at large.
