There is confusion over who the authentic governorship candidates representing the Labour Party (LP) at the forthcoming off-cycle governorship election are.
The leadership crisis in the Labour Party has grown worse following confusion over who the authentic national chairman of the party is.
He said the court also sacked the Julius Abure-led faction and ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to recognise governorship candidates produced by his faction for the November 11 election.“ You will recall that on April 5 the FCT High Court restrained Abure and others from parading themselves as national officers of the party,” Apapa said.
Apapa said his faction conducted primaries on April 16 making it two primaries conducted by the LP in the states. “What happened a few minutes ago is that the court of appeal in Owerri sitting in Abuja affirmed all the candidates that emerged from the Lamidi Apapa-led primaries in Imo – it includes Imo, Kogi and Bayelsa,” Mawah said.
