In what appears to be a direct fallout of the Supreme Court judgment affirming the election of President Bola Tinubu, the National Chairman of the Labour Party, Comrade Julius Abure, has sacked five of his key political aides.

The termination of appointments was contained in a statement signed by National Secretary of the party, Malam Umar Farouk, in Abuja, yesterday.

The statement read, "The National Chairman of the Labour Party, Barrister Julius Abure has approved the termination of appointments of some of his aides with immediate effect.

"He noted that all appointments that were related to campaigns have been formally dissolved. The effected appointees include:

Mr. Mandela Ukegbu, Chairman, Labour Party Presidential Campaign Committee on Special Duties
