Edo State High Court has granted an interim injunction restraining the Labour Party (LP) from suspending its National Chairman, Julius Abure.
NaijNaira understands that this decision was made by Justice E.O Ahamioje in an exparte application filed by Abure, Chief Friday Ibani and two others against the Ward 3 Executive Committee of the LP in Edo State.
The national leadership of the LP had condemned Abure’s suspension by the Ward 3 Executive Committee, describing it as a distraction sponsored by opposition parties to divert the party’s attention from its suit challenging the outcome of the 2023 presidential election.
The ward executives’ lawyer, James Onoja (SAN), had sought a restraining order against Abure and other national officers at the Federal Capital Territory High Court. Justice Hamza Muazu of the FCT court granted Onoja’s application.
However, in Edo State, another coordinate court granted Abure’s application, barring the Labour Party Ward Executive Committee in Edo from transmitting their “purported suspension” to the national leadership for deliberation.
“I further decree an order of interim injunction restraining Labour Party from acting on the purported notice of suspension issued by the Ward Executive Committee over the subject matter of this suit pending determination of the motion on notice,” Justice E.O Ahamioje ruled.
The case has been adjourned until April 25th for a hearing.
The ruling is expected to calm tensions within the LP, which has been embroiled in a power struggle in recent months.
The decision by the Edo State High Court is seen as a victory for Abure and his supporters, who had argued that his suspension was politically motivated and aimed at removing him from office.
