Recall that police operatives on Thursday sealed the headquarters of the party due to the leadership crisis rocking the party.

Seven members of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Party allegedly announced the National Vice-Chairman (South), Lamidi Bashir Apapa, as the acting chairman of the party.

Abure, however, insisted that he remained the National Chairman of the party.
