Labour Party: Apapa Finally Clears Air On Affiliation With Tinubu

Amidst the ongoing internal wrangling in Labour Party (LP), factional leader of the party, Bashiru Lamidi Apapa has dismissed with a wave of hands, the insinuations gaining ground that he is being sponsored by the President-elect, Bola Tinubu in order to destroy the party.

The denial is coming on the heels of controversies trailing the leadership of the factionalised LP between Lamidi Apapa and Julius Abure.

The National Executive Committee (NEC) of the LP led by Apapa, however, reiterated its commitment to pursuing, to a logical conclusion, the petition of the party before the Presidential Election Tribunal.

Bashir Lamidi Apapa who addressed members of the NEC in Bauchi on Wednesday at Sulgad Hotel, in his capacity as the Acting National Chairman, said that the Party is solidly behind the Presidential candidate, Peter Obi and will continue to support him to reclaim the mandate.

“Nobody is sponsoring me to destroy the LP, how can I even do such a thing to a party I helped developed over 20 years ago? I am a founding member of the LP and since I joined, I have never once left it for another party.

“Labour Party under my leadership recognises Mr Peter Obi, Presidential Candidate but will not support any move by any member of our great party to undermine the unity and peace of our country. Labour Party under my leadership shall not support any unconstitutional change of Government by anyone no matter how highly placed.

”Labour Party under my leadership shall accept the outcome of the presidential election petition tribunal up to the Supreme Court,” he said.
