The 36 states chairmen of the Labour Party (LP) have declared that all the decisions taken by the factional chairman, Apapa Lamidi, are invalid.

A communique signed by the chairman of the Chairmen’s Forum, Chief Rotimi Kehinde on behalf of the 36 state chairmen after they took back their national secretariat on Friday, said they had received all happenings in the party and stand with their national chairman, Barr Julius Abure.
“The 36 state chairmen as members of NEC of Labour party met in Abuja, the headquarters of LP to review the recent development in the party where few insignificant members of NWC led by comrade Apapa Lamidi and his gang criminally declared themselves the new leadership of our party. Hence the 36 chairmen resolved as hereunder:
“Barr Julius Abure remains the national chairman of LP and Comrade Apapa Lamidi’s action along with his gang is accordingly repudiated and cannot stand.
“Those who grossly violated the provision of our party’s constitution and take internal matters of the party to the court without exhausting all the appropriate instituted channels to resolving disputes and went ahead to court are by the dint of this communique directed to immediately effect withdrawal of the matter from court and return to the part of rectitude for due process.
“36 chairmen condemn the act of political brigandage perpetrated by this small fraction of the NWC led by Comrade Apapa and his gang. It is viewed that Apapa and others who were involved do not seem to appear as appropriate members of LP as no one member with the required sanity will destroy his own home,” the communique said.
