The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Thursday said it has was taken a decision concerning the crisis rocking the Labour Party.
TheHintsNews reports that the Supreme Court recently sacked the National Chairman of the party, Julius Abure and affirmed that his tenure has expired.
However, Abure insisted that the Supreme Court did not sack him, despite the Certified True Copy of the judgement saying otherwise.
But, the Chief Press Secretary to INEC Chairman, Rotimi Oyekanmi in a statement said as a law abiding institution, it was carefully studying the judgement of the Supreme Court on the Labour Party and would communicate its decision to the public in due course.
He noted that media reports indicating that the commission has taken a decision are false
Oyekanmi added: “Our attention has been drawn to some media reports claiming that the Commission has recognised certain persons as the National Chairman and National Secretary of the Labour Party (LP).
“The reports also inferred that the Commission has restored a particular individual as the National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), referring to the listings on the Commission’s official website.
“The names of the National Officers of the LP had previously been uploaded to our website following a court order, not related in any way to the latest judgement of the Supreme Court.
“In the same manner, the name of the National Secretary of the PDP on the same website was neither deleted nor reinstated.”
