APAPA PETITIONS THE TRIBUNAL TO DISMISS PETER OBI'S PROCEEDINGS AGAINST TINUBU

The Labour Party, LP, has raised the alarm, alleging that the party's self-proclaimed chairman, Lamidi Apapa, has approached the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, requesting that all cases filed by the party and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, against President-elect Bola Tinubu be dismissed.

Obiora Ifoh, the party's National Publicity Secretary, announced this in a statement on Tuesday.

According to the statement, LP requested the tribunal to ignore Apapa's "antics," claiming that they are out to ruin the party and appease their suspected paymasters.

"We are by this statement informing all arms of the Judiciary, including the tribunals and courts to ignore the ignoble antics of these compromised suspended members of the party. We are also calling on the police, DSS and EFCC to arrest these enemies of democracy.

"Approaching the tribunals to withdraw all the cases lodged by Labour Party candidates across the board is the height of subterfuge and treachery, and Nigerians will resist this ploy to plunge the nation into unnecessary turmoil," he said in a statement posted on the party's official website.
