Court affirms Abure as Labour Party national chairman

Justice Emmanuel Aihamoje of the Edo State High Court, Benin City on Friday dismissed a notice of suspension filed against the Labour Party National Chairman, Julius Abure, by some party members of the party.

The Edo State chapter of the Labour Party had in April suspended Abure and other officials of the party over alleged corruption.

However, the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) rejected the suspension of the officials and described it as illegal.
