Apapa Faction Appeals Court Judgement Affirming Abure as Labour Party Chairman

The Lamidi Apapa Faction of the Labour Party has approached the Supreme Court, seeking to revoke the judgement of an Abuja High Court, reinstating Julius Abure as the national chairman of the party.

An appeal court last March 6, had revoked the judgement of an Abuja High Court, which ordered Abure to stop parading himself as the national chairman of Labour Party.

The spokesman of Apapa Faction, Abayomi Arabambi addressing newsmen in Abeokuta on Sunday faulted the judgement of the appeal court.

The faction, according to him, had approached the Supreme Court to challenge the judgement.

Arabambi said they filed a motion for a stay of the execution of the appeal court judgement, which was granted on March 7.

He said, Most disgusting, disturbing and worrisome gross misconduct of Justice Hamman Barka was his deliberate discountenances of the Certified True Copy of the FCT High Court letter dated 11th day of January 2023 signed by Lawal Funmilola (Director, Commissioner For Oath Department) that confirmed Julius Abure forged the seal of the judge of FCT, forged the Commissioner of Oath’s signatures and generated his own TSA receipts without payment to the Federal Government.

Justice Hamman Barka must explain why a Certified True Copy of court response and confirmation of Julius Abure’s forgery should be ignored.

Justice Hamman Barka also tore in shred the police investigation and indictment report against Julius Abure where the IGP consequently established a prima facie case against him for forgery, criminal conspiracies and perjury.

Others are that the order of the FCT High court made on 5th April, 2023 restraining Abure and Co. is hereby set aside. There was no appeal against the said order.

That the case ought to have been begun by Writs and still went ahead to dismiss it without calling on parties to file pleadings, the power which the court has by virtue of section 15, Court of Appeal Act etc.
