According to reports, INEC’s website now reflects Julius Abure and Alhaji Umar Farouk Ibrahim as the National Chairman and National Secretary of the Labour Party, respectively. Similarly, Senator Samuel Anyanwu is listed as the National Secretary of the PDP. INEC stated that the update regarding the Labour Party officials was based on a court order.
However, INEC has clarified that these listings are not indicative of a final decision on the leadership disputes within the parties. The commission emphasized that it is still studying the recent Supreme Court judgment concerning the Labour Party’s leadership crisis and will communicate its official position in due course.
The Labour Party has been embroiled in a leadership tussle, with factions supporting different individuals as the rightful chairman. Similarly, the PDP has faced internal disputes over the position of National Secretary, with legal battles challenging the legitimacy of appointments.
INEC’s current listings are based on existing court orders and do not reflect a conclusive stance on the ongoing disputes. The commission has urged the public to await its official communication after a thorough review of the legal judgments.
