All Progressive Congress (APC) has denied allegations that it was responsible for the leadership crisis in the opposition Labour Party (LP). On Thursday, Lamidi Apapa, deputy national chairman of LP (south), declared himself in charge of the party, shortly after Julius Abure, national chairman of the LP, claimed that thugs sponsored by the APC had invaded the party's headquarters in the federal capital territory (FCT) and damaged property.

However, in a statement on Saturday, Felix Morka, national publicity secretary of the APC, dismissed Abure's accusation as "unfathomable and infantile" and stated that the LP was solely responsible for its internal issues. Morka cited Apapa's clarification that the situation at the LP headquarters resulted from a legal process that barred Abure and other national officers from holding their positions.

The statement also criticized the LP's "morbid obsession" with blaming the APC for its woes and affirmed the APC's commitment to forming a new government led by Bola Tinubu.

The LP is currently in a leadership crisis after a federal capital territory high court issued an order restraining Abure and other national officers from parading themselves as LP leaders.
