Okafor, at the weekend while speaking to journalists, stated that the suspended national chairman, Julius Abure, and the Party’s acting national chairman, Lamidi Apapa are illegal occupants of the seat.
He claimed to be the right national chairman of the LP because he was positioned as the Party’s deputy national chairman when the late national chairman, Abdulkadir Abdulsalam, was in office.
According to Okafor, Abure was acting national secretary when Abdulsalam died in 2020, adding that Abure announced himself as the national chairman without recourse to the provisions of the Party’s constitution.
