JUST IN: Court of Appeal Affirms Apapa as Labour Party Chairman

Court of Appeal in Owerri, Imo State, Southeast Nigeria, has affirmed Lamidi Apapa as the authentic national chairman of the Labour Party (LP).

Gatekeepers News reports that the court’s decision followed a legal battle between Apapa and Julius Abure, who had been declared the LP chairman by an Appeal Court in July.

The court also ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to publish the names of all the candidates presented by the Apapa-led faction of the LP in the Imo, Kogi and Bayelsa State governorship elections.

This is a developing story.
