The Chairman of the Labour Party Caretaker Committee, Senator Nenadi Usman, has said that the committee would appeal the victory of Julius Abure on Tuesday.
The Eagle Online recalls that the Federal High Court, Abuja pronounced the Julius Abure-led leadership of the party as valid.
Reacting to the judgment in a statement on Tuesday, Usman said the caretaker committee had resolved to challenge it.
She said this was after a meeting she had with the party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi; Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti; and Secretary of the caretaker committee, Senator Darlington Nwokocha.
She said in a post on her X handle: “This evening, I met with His Excellency Mr. Peter Obi, His Excellency Governor Alex Otti, and Senator Darlington Nwokocha (Secretary, LP Caretaker Committee).

“We deliberated on the judgment passed today.
“The case actually preceded the formation of the Caretaker Committee.
“However, after being briefed, the Caretaker Committee decided to join the case. Consequently, we have resolved to appeal the judgment accordingly.
“I, therefore, call on all party members to remain calm and maintain peace as we continue our reconciliation efforts.”
