The Labour Party has suspended its Anambra 2025 governorship primary election scheduled for today, Saturday, April 5, 2025, indefinitely.
The suspension was consequent upon Friday’s long-awaited verdict of the Supreme Court which sacked the national chairman of the Labour Party Julius Abure, report said.
The Supreme Court ordered Abure to vacate the party Secretariat along with his executives at all levels.
The acting chairman of Labour Party in Anambra State, Comrade Peter Okoye, in an exclusive interview with The Guardian in Awka Friday afternoon, disclosed that the governorship primary earlier fixed for April 5,2025 shall no longer hold.
“By virtue of the Supreme Court’s verdict this afternoon, any primary election conducted by any executive outside Senator Nenadi Usman will not stand,” he said.
“The new helmsman and her team would take over the National Secretariat and other structures down the line nationwide immediately.”
Okoye disclosed that he has already fixed a meeting of the acting Anambra State executive for Saturday to formulate a way forward to brief the national secretariat immediately.
He urged “all our teeming members and supporters to remain steadfast and unshaken in their support.”
While describing the Labour Party as the fastest-growing party in Nigeria, especially Anambra State, Okoye assured that issues would be normalised.
He urged every member and stakeholder to be vigilant and await further directives.
