Bashiru Lamidi Apapa has declared himself the new national leader of the Labour Party following the Supreme Court ruling that removed Julius Abure from the position.
Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, Apapa cited the April 4, 2025, judgment, which nullified Abure’s leadership, as the basis for assuming control of the opposition party.
He announced that the party’s National Working Committee, as constituted in 2022, will convene on Monday, April 14, 2025, to chart a new course.
“Following the dismissal of the cross-appeal filed by the ousted former National Chairman Bar. Julius Abure by the Supreme Court, all actions and decisions taken by Abure since April 4, 2023, are null and void,” Apapa stated.
