Apapa said this following a recent decision of the national working committee of the Labour Party to suspend him alongside five others over “anti-party activities, contravening the constitution of the party and running of parallel leadership and putting the party in total disrepute.”
At the meeting, held in Asaba, Delta State capital on Tuesday, April 18, 2023, Obi declared his support for Julius Abure, the embattled National Chairman, whom a Federal Capital Territory (FCT) high court had barred from parading himself as the party’s helmsman.
Reacting to the development, Apapa, during an interview on Channels Television‘s Politics Today programme on Wednesday, April 19, 2023, said the purported meeting in Asaba lacked the authority to axe him from the party.
