Nigerian politician, Kenneth Okonkwo has stated that anarchy is no longer looming in the Labour Party (LP) but has already taken hold.

Speaking during an interview on Channels Television on Tuesday, Okonkwo described anarchy as the absence of authority or the non-recognition of authority, asserting that this is the current situation within the party.

In his words, “Anarchy is the absence of authority or non-recognition of authority. Now in Labour Party, there is no authority that is governing Labour Party.”

Okonkwo further claimed that the leadership of Julius Abure is not recognized, alleging that a faction within the party has been using deceptive means to lay claim to its leadership.

When asked about Abure’s position as the National Chairman, as reportedly affirmed by the court, Okonkwo responded that he was not aware of any ruling confirming this.

“I don’t think I have read any court decision that said Abure is the authentic National Chairman. What happened is that all the court they went to because they knew that there was no convention, so they always avoid the issue of convention. They will come to court and say court, we need to have our agents in Ondo. You have to give us power. INEC is precluding us from fielding our agents. If we don’t have the agents we are doomed. There is only one leadership, give us order to field our agents under the leadership of Abure.

“That is the trickish and cunny way they have been going about the issue of leadership of Labour Party,” he added.
