The Court of Appeal in Owerri, Imo State, on Thursday, sacked Julius Abure, and recognised Lamido Apapa as the National Chairman of the Labour Party.
The court also ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to immediately recognise and publish the names of all the governorship candidates produced by the Apapa-led National Working Committee in Imo, Bayelsa, and Kogi states.
The court also dismissed the gubernatorial candidature of Senator Athan Achonu of Imo state, and others belonging to the Abure-led LP faction.
The ruling was coming against the judgment of Court of Appeal sitting in Benin City on 14 August, which affirmed Abure as the National Chairman of the Labour Party.
Also, a State High Court sitting in Edo had also dismissed the notice of suspension of Abure by some members of Labour Party at his ward in Edo State.
