The factional national chairman of the Labour Party (LP), Lamidi Apapa, on Monday, distanced himself from claims of planning to withdraw the suit instituted by his party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, against Bola Tinubu’s victory at the 2023 presidential election.
Naija News recalls that Obi filed a suit against Tinubu at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, seeking to reclaim his ‘mandate’.
Apapa also denied disbanding the presidential campaign council (PCC) of the party, adding that he does not work for Tinubu.
The factional chairman of the LP stated this while speaking on Splash 105.5 FM, Ibadan.
He said, “Our mandate must be recovered by all. It is a lie that I want Obi to withdraw from the presidential elections tribunal. I’m not hijacking the party. We will pursue that case to the end. I have no intention to withdraw the petition because I recognise him as the presidential candidate of the party. He is also bound to recognise me as the deputy national chairman, now acting chairman. He is duty-bound to recognise me. He met us at the party.
