Peter Obi Is Our Last Hope – Apapa Cries Out Over Labour Party Chaos In Anambra
Factional Labour Party Chairman Apapa Urges Peter Obi to Resolve Anambra Crisis....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Lamidi Apapa, the factional National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP), has appealed to the party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to step up and help resolve the lingering crisis within the Anambra State chapter of the party ahead of the November 2025 governorship election.
Speaking in an interview with Vanguard on Monday in Abuja, Apapa stressed that while he is not criticizing Obi, he believes the former presidential candidate has overlooked key responsibilities—particularly concerning his home state.
“I’m not condemning our presidential candidate, but there are certain obligations he has neglected. Anambra is his home state, and there’s an ongoing crisis there. While he can’t resolve it alone, we expect him to intervene,” Apapa said.
He contrasted Obi’s inaction with his own efforts in Oyo State, noting that since the party’s internal crisis began, no significant issues have erupted in his home state due to his active involvement.
“Take Oyo State for example—I’m from there. Have you heard of any LP crisis in Oyo? I’ve been engaging with party members and holding meetings. It should be even easier for Obi to intervene in Anambra as our presidential flagbearer,” he added.
Apapa also weighed in on the recent Supreme Court ruling related to the Labour Party’s leadership tussle. He clarified that the judgment specifically removed Julius Abure as national chairman but did not confer the position on any other individual—leaving the resolution to the party’s internal processes.
“The Supreme Court affirmed that only the party has the authority to determine its leadership, not the courts,” Apapa explained. “The ruling didn’t punish the entire executive—only Abure. So, when the court said the matter should be resolved internally, it was clear that the party constitution should guide the process.”
Citing Article 14 (a) and (b) of the Labour Party’s constitution, Apapa argued that as the Deputy National Chairman, he rightfully assumed leadership in an acting capacity following Abure’s removal.
