The National Chairman of the Labour Party, Julius Abure, has approved the sack of five aides following the conclusion of the party’s petition on the outcome of the last presidential election.

In a statement issued on Saturday by LP National Secretary, Umar Farouk, the chairman said all appointments relating to elections and campaigns had been formally dissolved.

He wished the appointees well in their future engagements.
