The factional acting chairman of the Labour Party, Lamidi Apapa, has rejected his suspension from the party, saying he is still in charge and has the recognition of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
Apapa, who spoke during an interview on a TV station on Wednesday maintained that his suspension as a member of the party is invalid.
He said the suspension was null and void because Abure did not have the legal backing to convene the National Executive Committee meeting of the party.
The acting chairman added that his rejection by officials of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) was due to lack of knowledge of the party’s history and the role he played over the years.
Asked to respond to allegations that he was being sponsored by external agents, he responded that the constitution of the party is clear on the deputy taking over if the national chairman is unable to perform his role. He further maintained that he was being sponsored by nobody.
