Lamidi Apapa, the embattled factional chairman of the Labour Party (LP) has opened up on what he will do if the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu invites him for reconciliation.
In an interview on Arise TV, on Thursday, Apapa said he will seek the consent and advice of other party leaders before deciding on the invite.
His words, “Before I honour him, I will consult the executive of the party, so if they ask me to go ahead, I will do. If the executive says go ahead it becomes our position.
“It’s not going to be my position. If they say go and see him or we are going to see him, it becomes the position of the party not the position of Alhaji Bashiru Lamidi Apapa.
“All of us will collectively go and see him. That is if we have the mandate of the house that we are going to see him.”
Recall, Theliberationnews reported that Apapa and his faction have been at loggerheads with the faction of the suspended National Chairman of the party, Julius Abure over the leadership of the party.
The height of the infight in the party came to play on Wednesday when the two tue factions clashed at the Court of Appeal in Abuja, venue of the Presidential Election Petition Court on Wednesday.
Apapa, who was mobbed by some youths that were at the court to witness proceedings in the petition Obi filed to challenge the outcome of the 2023 presidential election, was taken into protective custody by security operatives attached to the court.
