We expose the rot in the party to show we can be trusted - Arabambi

Arabambi described the LP as the best party in the country, stating that they were the first to expose the atrocity of the national chairman while they were still together.

He further stated that his faction has been able to expose the rot in the party so they can be trusted.

Apapa announced himself as the new acting national chairman of the party, Saaleh Lawan as the new acting national secretary. The factional leader insisted that Julius Abure and three others that the Federal High Court suspended must be retrained before further action can be taken on the party's leadership.
