 Good evening, I'm Olamideh Adeyemi and this is the news now. The Deputy National Chairman of the Labour Party, Olamideh Apapah, has declared himself as the Chairman of the party. This came after the National Chairman of the party, Julius Abourellech, the Thurks, aided by police officers in view that the party's headquarters in Aboujan caused damage to the property. However, Abourellech blamed the alleged Thurk invasion on the old Progressive Congress. To now, the Labour Party office is under attack. All the doors at the national headquarters have been broken and they have entered the office. But what are we trying to hold a meeting in the office? That meeting is not authorized by me, it's not authorized by the National Working Committee. The Labour Party is under serious attack, personally and individually, because of the case we have against the APC in Cubs. All of this blackmail, all of this attack is tailored towards destroying the mandate that has been freely given to us by Nigerians. Nigerians must rise to the occasion, defend their country, defend democracy and defend the Labour Party. Speaking with reporters, Apapa said he has taken over the affairs of the party following a court order restraining Abourellech from parading himself as chairman of the party. Apapa said Salih Lawan will now act as the national secretary of the party. The national term of our party and for the officers who are restrained by Abougea High Court not to parade themselves as officers of the party. This is based on allegation of pragyuri, forgyuri and so on and so forth. And because of that this National Working Committee emergency meeting is taking place. Because in a country like this there is no room for vacuum and therefore this National Working Committee meeting has graciously appointed me as acting national chairman of the party while Alihadi Salih has been appointed as acting secretary of the party.
