Edo High Court judge, Justice Emmanuel Aihamoje, on Friday in Benin, dismissed the notice of suspension issued against the National Chairman, Labour Party (LP), Mr Julius Abure, by some ward executives in the state.
The action filed by Mr Abure and some of the executives of the Ward 3 in Esan North East of Edo State, challenged the action of some elements who purportedly suspended the national chairman of the party.
In his judgement which lasted for about two hours, Justice Aihamoje said the party’s executive in Uromi in Ward 3 lacked the power under the Labour Party Constitution, particularly Art.13 & 17 and the Electoral Act 2022 as amended, to remove the national chairman of the party.
