In Nigeria, Supreme Court Overturns Julius Abure's Labour Party Chairmanship.

 

The Supreme Court has set aside the judgment of the Court of Appeal in Abuja recognising Julius Abure as National Chairman of The Labour Party. While noting that Abure's actual tenure had since expired, The Supreme Court ruled that issues of leadership are internal affairs of a political party over which courts lack jurisdiction.
