The Court of Appeal sitting in Owerri on Thursday sacked Julius Abure as the National Chairman of the Labour Party.
Also, the court, in the same judgement, recognised Lamidi Apapa as the National Chairman of the party.
The court ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to as a matter of urgency recognize 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 Senator Athan Achonu, the governorship candidate of Imo State and others from the Abure-led faction of the Labour Party.
Recall that the Court of Appeal in Benin, Edo State, had on August 14 affirmed Abure as the chairman of LP.
