The Court of Appeal in Owerri, Imo State, has sacked Julius Abure, and recognised Lamido Apapa as the National Chairman of the Labour Party.
The court ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to immediately recognise and publish the names of all the governorship candidates produced by the Apapa-led National Working Committee (NWC) in Imo, Bayelsa, and Kogi states.
The court also dismissed the governorship candidate of Senator Athan Achonu of Imo State, and others belonging to the Abure-led LP faction.
The Court of Appeal in Benin, Edo State, had on August 14 affirmed Abure as the chairman of LP.
