The national National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP), Sen. Nenadi Usmas has commended the ruling of the Supreme Court on Friday, which removed Julius Abure and installed her as the National Chairman of the party.
She also urged members to come together, unite in purpose and vision, to move the party forward.
In a statement made available to newsmen on Friday, Usman described the judgement as a significant milestone in Nigeria’s democracy.
“The recent ruling by the Supreme Court, which allowed the appeal filed by Senator Nenadi Usman—declaring it meritorious—while dismissing the cross-appeal filed by the Abure faction of the Labour Party as unmeritorious, is a victory for the rule of law and a significant milestone for our democracy.
“It is important to emphasize that this is not a time for triumphalism—there is no victor and no vanquished. What matters most is our shared commitment to the ideals and aspirations of the Labour Party and the Nigerian people. We must now come together, united in purpose and vision, to move the party forward.
“The Labour Party remains one indivisible family, steadfast in its mission to create a New Nigeria founded on justice, equity, and people-centred governance.
“We call on all party members, supporters, and stakeholders to remain calm, focused, and committed to the democratic ideals that bind us,” the statement read.
