The Court of Appeal in Imo State has sacked Julius Abure and reaffirmed Lamido Apapa as the national chairman of the Labour Party.

The court, in its ruling on Thursday, August 24, also directed the electoral commission, INEC, to recognise and publish the names of all governorship candidates presented by the Apapa-led National Working Committee (NWC) in Imo, Bayelsa, and Kogi states.
