Former presidential aide, Bashir Ahmad, responded to the confirmation of Comrade Lamidi Apapa as the legitimate chairman of the opposition Labour Party (LP) by congratulating Apapa on his victory. In a tweet on his verified Twitter account, Bashir Ahmad expressed his congratulations to Lamidi Apapa, describing his win and confirmation as the authentic leader of the Labour Party as well-deserved.
Bashir Ahmad’s tweet read: “Congratulations to Comrade Lamidi Apapa on a well-deserved Victory at the Court of Appeal, confirming his position as the authentic chairman of the opposition party, Labour Party.”
The recent development was the outcome of a court ruling that took place in Owerri, Imo State, where the Appeal Court ruled in favor of Lamidi Apapa and affirmed him as the legitimate National Chairman of the Labour Party. The court further directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recognize and publish the names of all governorship candidates produced by the Apapa-led National Working Committee in Imo, Bayelsa, and Kogi states.
The dispute between Comrade Lamidi Apapa and Barrister Julius Abure over the position of national chairman has persisted for some time. This recent judgment raises questions about the next steps the Julius Abure-led faction might take in response to the decision of the Appeal Court.
