The Labour Party (LP) is in disarray after Jude Ezenwafor, the former chairman of the party in Anambra State, was proclaimed the victor of a presidential primary organized by a branch of the party.
The affirmation of Ezenwafor took place on Wednesday in Abuja.
“I am on a rescue mission to free Nigerian from social, economic and political crises currently bedevilling it.
“Labour Party will win the general election. Our party is going to take over Nigeria and bring back the glory Nigeria needs.

“I have been in the corridors of government for the past 20 years. We are here on a rescue mission,” NAN quoted Ezenwafor as saying.
The news comes only days after Peter Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, was voted as the LP’s presidential candidate in a primary organized by the party’s Julius Abure-led wing.
Prior to Obi’s primary victory, Calistus Okafor, the chairman of another section of the party, contested the constitutionality of the Abure-led group in an Abuja Federal High Court.
The presiding judge, Inyang Ekwo, issued an order on May 30 ordering the LP and some of its officers to be served with a new lawsuit challenging the party’s leadership.
