Lamidi Apapa
Lamidi Apapa is a Nigerian politician and the current acting leader of the Labour Party, having recently taken over the party's leadership following a Supreme Court judgment that nullified the previous leadership of Julius Abure. Apapa, who had been absent from the political scene for about a year, re-emerged to assert his position as the most senior National Deputy Chairman of the party, citing the Supreme Court's ruling that dismissed Abure's claims as chairman. He is now tasked with leading the party's National Working Committee and is planning to discuss future zoning arrangements for the party's leadership.
