The Board of Trustees of the Labour Party says it has taken over the running of the affairs of the party, bringing a new dimension to the crisis rocking the opposition party.
The announcement follows the controversial convention of the party held at Nnewi, Anambra State on Wednesday during which Julius Abure was re-elected national chairman.
The BoT, in a statement issued late on Wednesday by its Chairman, Comrade S. O. Z. Ejiofor, said it did not recognise the national convention.
