The controversy intensified following reports that INEC had confirmed Julius Abure and Umar Farouk Ibrahim as National Chairman and Secretary of LP, and Samuel Anyanwu as the PDP’s National Secretary.

Instead, the electoral commission maintains neutrality and is still reviewing all petitions and legal implications surrounding the leadership disagreements.
