The leadership tussle in the Labour Party took another twist as Lamidi Apapa’s faction suspended five executive members, including the embattled National Chairman, Julius Abure.
Recall that the Abure-led faction suspended five executive members at Tuesday’s National Executive Council in Asaba, Delta State.

Lamidi Apapa, the party’s acting Chairman, Alhaji Salem Lawal, Favour Reuben, Gbenga Daramola, Samuel Akingbade and Mohammed Akali were affected.
But the embattled Apapa had rejected the alleged suspension from the party, insisting that his leadership was legitimate.
In a letter addressed to the Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, the Apapa’s faction asked the Police put Abure and his men in check against further deterioration of the crisis.
The embattled National Publicity Secretary of the party, Comrade Abayomi Arabambi, signed the statement.
