There appears to be no end in sight over the crisis in Labour Party–LP as the Appeal Court sitting in Owerri, Imo State capital has affirmed Lamido Apapa as the authentic national chairman of the party.
According to Punch report, the Court in its ruling on Thursday also sacked the Julius Abure-led National Working Committee of the party.
The court thereafter ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission—INEC to immediately recognise and publish the names of all the governorship candidates produced by the Apapa-led NWC in Imo, Bayelsa, and Kogi states.
The court also dismissed the gubernatorial candidature of Senator Athan Achonu of Imo state, and others belonging to the Abure-led LP faction.
This is just a developing story. More details to follow….
