The Chairman, Labour Party (LP) Caretaker Committee, Senator Nenadi Usman, on Tuesday said her committee would appeal the judgement of the Federal High Court Abuja which upheld the Julius Abure-led leadership.
Usman in an explanation she personally endorsed said she met with the party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi; Abia State Lead Representative, Alex Otti, and Senator Darlington Nwokocha (Secretary, LP Caretaker Committee) and shared thoughts on the judgement.
The former finance minister conceded that the judgement which upheld the Nnewi Convention of the party went before the formation of the Caretaker Committee, said the leaders made plans to challenge in the judgement.
The LP caretaker committee chairman called on all party members to keep cool and maintain decorum as they proceed with reconciliation moves.
“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,” she said.
