Justice Hamza Mua’zu had on April 17 restrained Abure, the LP National Organising Secretary,  Oluchi Opara; and National Treasurer, Clement Ojukwu, from parading themselves as the party national officers while ruling on a suit filed by one Yomi Arabambi and seven others.

Arabambi is the publicity secretary of the LP faction loyal to the suspended acting national chairman, Lamidi Apapa.
