The state chairmen of the Labour Party in the North Central geo-political zone have reaffirmed their commitment to give their unalloyed support to the National Chairman, Julius Abure, to enable him to take the party to greater heights.
The LP chairmen also used the opportunity to congratulate Abure on his victory at a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja which validated the March 2024 Nnewi national convention of the party and affirmed his position as the national chairman.
These were contained in a press statement issued by the LP National Vice Chairman, North Central Zone, Ibrahim Idoko, on Wednesday.
Idoko described the court’s decision as a testament to the strength of Nigeria’s legal system and the Labour Party’s dedication to democratic principles.
Idoko, who is also the current LP chairman in Benue State, praised the presiding judge, Justice Emeka Nwite, for issuing an order which compelled the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to validate and recognise the Abure-led leadership of the party.

The statement read in part: “The Forum of Chairmen of the North Central, comprising Abuja, Benue, Nasarawa, Niger, Kogi, Kwara, and Plateau, under the leadership of Ibrahim Idoko, the National Vice Chairman, North Central of LP wishes to congratulate our National Chairman, Julius Abure, the NWC, and the entire NEC of our great party for the victory it once again got at the Federal High Court, where the court-mandated INEC to recognise the Abure-led NWC and stated that the Nnewi elective convention met all constitutional requirements of both the party and INEC electoral laws.
“The judgment on October 8, 2024 reaffirms Julius Abure’s leadership and we are thankful to the judiciary for upholding the rule of law and its integrity. The Labour Party will continue to remain united and focused on its mission to promote the welfare of the Nigerian people.
“We, in the North Central Labour Party, have always believed that the Abure-led committee is on the side of the law and will definitely prevail, and I must say that we are all very happy with the judgement because we know that our National Chairman (Abure) has great plans for the party.
“At this point, we want to call on all aggrieved party members and intending members of the party to sheath their swords and join hands with the Abure-led committee to build our party as we prepare to rescue Nigeria in the 2027 general elections.”
