The 29-man caretaker committee set up by Abia State Governor Alex Otti and presidential candidate Peter Obi has announced its decision to challenge the Abuja Court of Appeal ruling at the Supreme Court regarding the ongoing leadership dispute within the Labour Party. The appellate court had recently validated the party's March convention in Nnewi and affirmed Julius Abure as the legitimate national chairman by upholding an earlier Federal High Court judgment. However, the caretaker committee, led by Senator Nenadi Usman and Darlington Nwokocha, expressed dissatisfaction with the verdict and instructed their legal team to seek further clarification from the apex court while urging party supporters nationwide to remain calm.
