Fact-Check Report: LP Leadership Crisis

Claim:

LP leadership: Abure, Usman claim victory over Supreme Court verdict

Fact-Check Verdict:

True

Evidence:

The claim is accurate based on reports from reliable sources. Both Julius Abure and Senator Nenadi Usman have claimed victory following the Supreme Court’s judgment, which set aside the Court of Appeal’s recognition of Abure as the national chairman of the Labour Party. The Supreme Court ruled that courts should not interfere in the internal affairs of political parties, backing party supremacy and allowing each faction to interpret the verdict as favorable to their stance.

Sources:

• Perpetua Onuegbu – PM News
• Jude Opara – Peoples Daily
• Sola Ojo – The Sun Nigeria

Conclusion:

The claim that both Abure and Usman have claimed victory over the Supreme Court verdict is true. Each faction interprets the judgment in a manner that supports their position on leadership within the Labour Party. The court’s decision emphasizes the principle of party supremacy and discourages legal intervention in internal party disputes.
