The Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC), says it is yet to determine the fate of embattled national chairman of the Labour Party, Mr Julius Abure.
NATIONAL POST reports that Abure's name is still on the website of the commission as of Thursday afternoon.
However, in a statement made available to journalists, INEC acknowledged that Abure's name was on its website, but stated that it had nothing to do with the Supreme Court judgement.
The statement was signed by Rotimi Oyekanmi, Chief Press Secretary to INEC Chairman.
It reads, "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.
"However, the reports are false and misleading. The Commission has not made any decision in respect of either the LP or PDP.
"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.
"As a law abiding institution, the Commission is carefully studying the judgement of the Supreme Court on the Labour Party and will communicate its decision to the public in due course."
