The internal crisis rocking the Labour Party resurrected on Thursday with its National Legal Adviser, Akingbade Oyelekan, dismissing the dissolution of the party’s executive council in Rivers State.

According to him, the decision was faulty and would not stand.

According to report, the spokesperson for the LP Presidential Campaign Council, Kenneth Okonkwo, had in a statement, dissolved the executive council of the Rivers State chapter of the party over alleged anti-party activities and corruption.
