In a statement in Abuja, Okafor described the LP stakeholders’ meeting convened by Abia Governor, Alex Otti, as illegal, unconstitutional and a jamboree.

He called on Nigerians to know that the meeting that produced Usman as the interim national chairman of the party was null and void.
“We want to bring to the notice of the general public that the jamboree gathering tagged: “Labour Party Stakeholders’ meeting” held in Umuahia, Abia State is unconstitutional and not known to any organisation of the party.
“Article 11 of the 2009 Constitution which is the only constitution known to the party, according to the consent judgement delivered by Honourable Justice G. O. Kolawole on the 20th of March, 2018 categorically states the four organisations of the party: Ward, Local Government Area, State and National,” Okafor said.
According to him, Dr Alex Otti and Mr Peter Obi do not have the constitutional authority to convene any party meeting.
He challenged Otti to produce the official letter from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on the aforementioned subject matter.
He reiterated his commitment to reconciling all members and groups, mobilising and conducting all-inclusive and expansive congresses in Wards, Local Government Areas, States and the National Convention to achieve a unified, focused Labour Party that redefines political leadership in Nigeria.
