Is there a way that I can be able to use an iPad that I purchased from a second party that is now requiring an apple id and password in order to activate it. I have no way to contact the person whom which I purchased the iPad from to get any of the info to remove the apple ID

No, if you can't get a hold of said person, then the ipad is usless.

Without the assistance of the previous owner, the iPad is useless to you.
Here are the Apple support pages that outline the Activation Lock - and the only mechanisms by which it can be turned off:
Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Turn off Activation Lock – Apple Support
As you will discover, unless you are the owner of the AppleID that was last used to activate the device, you’ll not be able to defeat or bypass the Activation Lock. With documentary evidence that you are the original owner (such as sales receipt showing the serial number), Apple may be prepared to assist - otherwise they and nobody here will be able to help you.
