The leadership crisis in the Labour Party (LP) has grown worse following confusion over who the authentic national chairman of the party is.
Following a court ruling on Thursday, both Lamidi Apapa and Julius Abure, who are factional leaders of the party are claiming to be the chairperson of the LP.
Apapa, who spoke in Abuja at a press conference, said the judgement of the court of appeal in Owerri, Imo state capital, had affirmed him as the authentic national chairman of the party.
while abure asked party members to distance themselves from the Apapa-led group.
