Peter Obi, Governor Otti’s Caretaker Committee Faults Appeal Court Reinstating Julius Abure Leadership.

The Labour Party in Nigeria is currently embroiled in a leadership crisis, with the caretaker committee established by Governor Alex Otti and presidential candidate Peter Obi rejecting the Appeal Court’s decision to reinstate Julius Abure as national chairman .

The committee, led by Senator Nenadi Usman, has declared that they remain in charge of the party’s affairs, citing the mandate entrusted to them by party stakeholders at an emergency convention. This move is seen as a direct challenge to the Appeal Court’s ruling, which validated the party’s March 2024 national convention and confirmed Abure as the national chairman .

The leadership crisis within the Labour Party has been ongoing, with various factions vying for control. The Appeal Court’s decision was seen as a significant development, but the caretaker committee’s rejection of the ruling has thrown the party into further turmoil
