The Acting National Chairman of the Labour Party, Lamidi Bashir Apapa has been told to reject its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and withdraw all legal petitions against the president-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Adamu Garba, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), gave the advice to the new chairman via his Twitter page.
The call is coming after a court order restrained Julius Abure and three others from parading themselves as national officers of the party which has further deepened the crisis rocking the Labour party.
According to reports, the seven members of the National Working Committee of the LP announced Lamidi Bashir Apapa as the acting chairman of the party.
Apapa said the NWC members acted on the judgement of the Federal Capital Territory High Court, which restrained Abure from parading himself as the National Chairman of the LP.
Reacting to the development, Adamu Garba took to his Twitter handle on Thursday night and urged the new leadership of the LP to reject its presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi.
He also urged them to withdraw all legal charges against the Tinubu at the presidential electoral tribunal.
Garba tweeted, “The new leadership of the Labour Party should as a matter of urgency dissociate themselves from IPOB driven Obidients, reject ESN patron Peter Obi and his sadistic VP candidate Datti, accept defeat, congratulate APC and withdraw all legal charges from court, to save their sanity.”
