The Court of Appeal sitting in Owerri, Imo State, had sacked the embattled National Chairman of the Labour Party, Julius Abure, and confirmed Lamidi Apapa, as the authentic National Chairman of the party.
Affirming Apapa as the LP Chairman after a long time legal battle, the Appeal court also ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to, as a matter of urgency, recognise and publish the names of all the governorship candidates produced by the Apapa-led National Working Committee in Imo, Bayelsa, and Kogi states.
However, the court dismissed the gubernatorial candidature of Senator Athan Achonu of Imo state, and others, produced by the Abure-led LP faction, in other states.
