The acting National Chairman of the Labour Party, Alhaji Lamidi Apapa, has prayed a Federal High Court in Abuja, to compel the Inspector-General of Police to eject the embattled LP National Chairman, Julius Abure, from the party’s national secretariat.
Apapa, in a fresh suit filed before Justice Ahmed Mohammed, also sought an order of perpetual injunction restraining Abure and three other suspended national officers from further representing or parading themselves as national chairman and officers of the party.
The plaintiff, who prayed the court to eject Abure and the three co-defendants from the party’s national secretariat located at No. 2, IBM Haruna Street, Utako, Abuja, described them as “illegal occupants.”
Apapa alleged that by the constitution of the party, Abure, having been suspended by the National Executive Council cannot continue to hold himself out as the national chairman of the party, “which he explained is a privilege only enjoyed by bonafide members of the party.
