Factional acting chairman of the Labour Party, Bashiru Lamidi Apapa, has disclosed that 11 of the legitimate members of the National Working Committee (NWC) are intact and formed his group of the new leadership of the Labour Party.
He said the NWC had watched with dismay the activities of the embattled Chairman of the Labour Party, Barr. Julius Abure, especially on the use of party funds without recourse to due process, adding that the NWC will investigate Abure over this development.
Apapa, in an exclusive interview with Nigerian Tribunesaid the Abure overreached himself by using party funds to transport and accommodate party chairmen in Edo State outside the interest of the party and without recourse to the decision of the National Working Committee.
He stated that the Majority of NWC members are on his side until the embattled Chairman of the Party absolves himself of all allegations of perjury, forgery and impersonations.
According to Apapa, “Because he is in charge of our money, he could convey these people to Abuja. He did not use his money, he used party’s money. That will be investigated, he used party money to convey people to Abuja to give him solidarity over illegal things.
“We are sure none of them will tolerate forging of government documents or court documents. I do not think anybody with his right senses will allow such a thing to happen.
