The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) says it was not responsible for the crisis bewildering the Labour Party (LP).
The LP National Chairman, Julius Abure, had accused APC of sending thugs to invade the party’s headquarters in Abuja and cause damage to the building, adding that the hoodlums were escorted by police officers.
“A few minutes ago, the national headquarters of the Labour Party in Abuja witnessed a massive attack and was broken into by a detachment of the Nigerian Police and thugs believed to be working for the All Progressives Congress,” Abure said on Thursday, April 6.
Reacting to the accusation, the APC, in a statement issued on Saturday, April 8, by its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, said the allegation was “unfathomable and infantile”.
Morka, who described the Labour Party as a “sinking and dysfunctional party”, stressed that the APC was not responsible for Abure travails.

The APC spokesperson stated: “Total vindication of APC of any involvement in LP’s imbroglio was swiftly and categorically delivered by Mr. Abure’s successor and Acting National Chairman of LP, Mr. Lamidi Apapa, who exonerated our great Party of any interference in the party’s raging internal crisis.
“He clarified that the reported situation at the LP headquarters was a result of a legal process arising from the orders of a Federal Capital Territory High Court that barred Mr. Abure and other national officers of the party from parading themselves as such.
“The LP’s morbid obsession with APC is unfathomable and infantile, blaming APC for all its internal woes. Mr Abure’s bogus claim follows Mr Peter Obi’s unsubstantiated and vexatious claim that he was being hounded into exile by our party.
“To be clear, APC is not responsible for Mr Abure’s travails. He will do well to focus his thin attention and energy on dealing with the many allegations of criminal conduct of forgery and financial impropriety leveled against him by his own party
“While the LP continues to grapple with its myriad woes and crying wolf where none exists, the APC will stay focused and committed to forming a new government to be led by the visionary President-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as he drives the Renewed Hope agenda, and consolidate on the many gains of the out-going President Buhari-administration,” he said.
