Julius Abure, the chairman of the Labour Party, responded to the Federal High Court’s decision confirming his leadership.
According to Anaedoonline.ng, Abure was formally named the Labour Party’s Chairman by the Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), which had previously maintained that Abure’s leadership was illegitimate, was ordered by the court to recognise Abure as the lawful chairman.

Abure thanked everyone and described the win as “a triumph for justice and democracy” in a statement on Tuesday.
This is a triumph for justice and democracy, not just for myself. It confirms that the rule of law prevails and that our party’s leadership remains legitimate.
He further thanked the judiciary, particularly Justice Emeka Nwite, for upholding justice.
“I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to the judiciary, particularly Justice Emeka Nwite, for his courage and integrity in delivering a judgment that upheld justice and resisted external pressure.
“His well-articulated judgement has restored our faith in the judiciary and given us hope for democracy in Nigeria,” the statement read.
Abure declared that he would pardon anybody who engaged in character assassination and attempted to weaken the party.
