A factional leader of the Labour Party (LP), Lamidi Apapa, has given lawyers to the party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, a 48-hour ultimatum to furnish him with details of the party’s petitions at the ongoing presidential election petitions tribunal.
Apapa who gave the ultimatum after a parallel meeting of his faction’s National Executive Council (NEC) held on Bauchi on Friday, said as the substantive acting Chairman of the party following a recent court ruling that removed former Chairman Julius Abure, he had every right to get the tribunal briefings.
“There is no doubt that I am now in charge. It has now been confirmed by the court that I have the right to be in charge until another order takes place,” Apapa told journalists after the meeting.
