The Labour Party has indefinitely suspended its Anambra 2025 governorship primary election, which was originally scheduled for tomorrow, Saturday, April 5, 2025.
DAILY GAZETTE report that the suspension follows Friday’s Supreme Court ruling that removed Julius Abure as the national chairman of the Labour Party.
The court ordered Abure and his executive team to vacate the party’s national secretariat and all other party offices nationwide.
Comrade Peter Okoye, the acting chairman of the Labour Party in Anambra State, confirmed the development to DAILY GAZETTE in Awka on Friday.
He explained that the governorship primary, which had been set for April 5, 2025, would no longer take place.
“By virtue of the Supreme Court’s verdict this afternoon, any primary election conducted by any executive outside Senator Nenadi Usman will not stand,” Okoye stated.
He added, “The new helmsman and her team would take over the National Secretariat and other structures nationwide immediately.”
Okoye revealed that a meeting of the acting Anambra State executive has been scheduled for Saturday to discuss the next steps and communicate with the national secretariat.
He urged “all our teeming members and supporters to remain steadfast and unshaken in their support.”
He further described the Labour Party as the fastest-growing party in Nigeria, particularly in Anambra State, and reassured that the situation would be resolved.
Okoye encouraged all members and stakeholders to stay vigilant and await further instructions from the party.
