The High Court sitting in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja has granted Julius Abure, the Labour Party Controversial Chairman , a stay pending appeal, following an oral appeal made in court today.
This was made known by the Party via its Official Twitter Account @NgLabour today.
Recall that, the Party had experienced some leadership clash between Abure and Apapa which has led to the controversial “Apapa Fraction”.
According to the report, the Labour Party Lawyer confronted the Apapa Lawyer who was against their oral application for stay which was eventually overrulled by the court , as they were granted Stay Pending Appeal.
The report states, “FCT state High Court today, Friday May 19, our lawyer confronted the Claimants (Apapa) lawyer who was opposing our oral application for stay since all evidence of a valid and subsisting appeal was before the Court.
“Eventually, being thoroughly boxed to a corner, the Judge succumbed and granted Stay Pending Appeal.”
