The Labour Party (LP) factional chairman, Lamidi Apapa, says he can’t rule out the possibility of working with the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
This is coming amid allegations by the rival party leadership that Apapa was doing the bidding of Tinubu’s All Progressives Congress (APC) to create confusion in LP. He was also accused of collecting a N500 million bribe from Tinubu, but had denied the allegation.
Apapa has been at loggerheads with the LP’s suspended chairman, Julius Abure, over the leadership of the party.
Responding to questions on whether he would honour Tinubu’s invitation for reconciliation on Arise TV on Thursday, Apapa said he would do so if approved by the party.
He said, “Before I honour him, I will consult the executive of the party, so if they ask me to go ahead, I will do. If the executive says go ahead it becomes our position.
“It’s not going to be my position. If they say go and see him or we are going to see him, it becomes the position of the party not the position of Alhaji Bashiru Lamidi Apapa.
“All of us will collectively go and see him. That is if we have the mandate of the house that we are going to see him.”
