The High Court of the Federal Capital Territory on Monday refused to vacate an interim order which restrained the National Chairman of the Labour Party, Julius Abure, the National Secretary, Alhaji Farouk Ibrahim, and two others from parading themselves as leaders of the party.
Alex Ejieseme SAN, counsel for Abure, had prayed the court to vacate the interim order after another faction had forcefully taken over the party’s national secretariat.
The senior lawyer said the division in the party following the interim order had worsened to the extent that four groups in the Imo State chapter of the Labour Party held parallel primaries over the weekend.
As a result, the counsel prayed to the court to have the matter heard speedily.
Justice Mnuazu by way of intervention ordered all parties in the suit to ensure the speedy filing of their processes
The justice fixed April 20 to take all applications in respect of the case.
