LP Caretaker Committee Reacts To Judgement Affirming Abure As Party Chairman
The Chairman of the Labour Party Caretaker Committee, Senator Nenadi Usman, announced on Tuesday that her committee would appeal the Federal High Court Abuja’s ruling, which upheld the leadership of Julius Abure.
In a statement she personally signed, Usman said she had met with the party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi; Abia State Governor, Alex Otti; and Senator Darlington Nwokocha, the Secretary of the LP Caretaker Committee, to discuss the court’s judgment.
Acknowledging that the ruling, which validated the party’s Nnewi Convention, preceded the formation of the Caretaker Committee, Usman said the leaders agreed to challenge the judgment.
She urged all party members to remain calm and peaceful as the party continues its reconciliation efforts.
“This evening, I met with His Excellency Mr. Peter Obi, His Excellency Governor Alex Otti, and Senator Darlington Nwokocha (Secretary, LP Caretaker Committee). We deliberated on the judgment passed today.
“The case actually preceded the formation of the Caretaker Committee. However, after being briefed, the Caretaker Committee decided to join the case. Consequently, we have resolved to appeal the judgment accordingly.
“I, therefore, call on all party members to remain calm and maintain peace as we continue our reconciliation efforts,” she said
