Supreme Court Ruling: INEC Updates Website, Reinstates Labour Party’s Abure and PDP’s Sam Anyanwu | #NwokeukwuMascot

 News 


The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has officially reinstated Julius Abure as the National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP), following a recent Supreme Court ruling. Vanguard checks on Thursday revealed that Abure’s name has now been re-listed on the commission’s official website.




Alongside Abure, INEC also re-enlisted Alhaji Umar Farouk Ibrahim as the National Secretary of the Labour Party. The commission cited a court order as the basis for both reinstatements.




Similarly, INEC has re-listed Senator Samuel Anyanwu as the National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), though it did not explicitly confirm whether this move was also guided by a court order.




The Supreme Court had, in a landmark ruling last month, overturned earlier decisions of the Federal High Court and the Court of Appeal which had previously removed Abure as the LP’s National Chairman. The apex court held that issues surrounding party leadership are internal matters and, therefore, not justiciable by regular courts.




Despite this, the ruling created internal discord within the Labour Party. Governor Alex Otti of Abia State and the party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, have maintained that the Supreme Court’s ruling effectively invalidated Abure’s leadership, advocating instead for a Caretaker Committee led by Senator Nenadi Usman.





On April 9, Governor Otti formally submitted a Certified True Copy (CTC) of the Supreme Court judgment to INEC, stating that the meeting with the commission was aimed at promoting clarity and institutional alignment regarding the party’s leadership structure.




However, an INEC official disclosed that Abure’s reinstatement came after a detailed review of the CTC. According to the source, the Supreme Court did not address the substantive issue of leadership but rather ruled that the lower courts lacked jurisdiction to entertain the matter in the first place, effectively restoring the status quo ante.





In a similar case, the Supreme Court in March also reinstated Senator Samuel Anyanwu as the PDP’s National Secretary, reversing the decisions of the lower courts that had sacked him. The leadership tussle within the PDP had seen Mr. Sunday Ude-Okoye backed by some party governors as a rival claimant.




As in the Labour Party case, the apex court ruled that the matter was an internal party affair and not within the purview of the judiciary, thus revalidating Anyanwu’s position.




These rulings underscore the Supreme Court’s firm stance on political party autonomy and the non-justiciability of internal party matters, sending a clear message on the boundaries of judicial intervention in party leadership disputes.
