Mr. Lamidi Apapa of the Labour Party, LP, has appealed the March 6, 2024 judgement of the Court Of Appeal in Abuja which affirmed Mr. Julius Abure as the Chairman of the party.
Speaking at a press conference in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, on Sunday, spokesman for the Apapa group within the Labour Party, Mr. Abayomi Arabambi, said Mr. Apapa has approached the Supreme Court to seek redress.
Mr. Arabambi faulted the judgement of the appellate court, saying that it had been appealed at the Supreme Court on five grounds, adding that more grounds will be filled once the certified true copy of the judgement has been obtained by Apapa lawyers.

Following the 2023 presidential poll with LP’s Peter Obi coming third, Mr. Abure has been in a protracted legal battle with Mr. Apapa who laid claim to the party’s chairmanship.
Justice Hamza Muazu of the Federal Capital Territory High Court had last year granted an ex-parte order, ordering that Mr. Abure and two other national officers stop parading themselves as leaders of the party for allegedly forging national documents, but the appellate court set the verdict aside.
