The National Chairman of the Labour Party, Julius Abure, and three other national executive members on Thursday announced their return to the party secretariat.
The development is coming one month after they were barred by Justice Hamza Muazu of the Federal High Court in Abuja from parading themselves as national officers of the party.
The judge ruled that Abure; his National Secretary, Alhaji Farouk Ibrahim; National Organising Secretary, Clement Ojukwu and one other, should no longer be given recognition as party executives.
The order was granted in an ex-parte application argued by Chief James Ogwu Onoja SAN, in which he informed the court the affected national officers allegedly forged several documents of the FCT High Court to carry out unlawful substitutions in the recently-held 2023 general election.
According to him, such documents included receipts, seals and affidavits of the court, which he claimed the party officials used to carry out criminal activities.
Addressing journalists at a world press conference in Abuja on Thursday, Abure announced the official return of all suspended national executive members to the secretariat following a motion for stay at the Court of Appeal.
