Rebel Lamidi Apapa Left Court In Excruciating Embarrassment - LP

The Bashiru Lamidi Apapa section of the party, which invaded the Presidential Election Petition Court on Wednesday morning, allegedly left the premises in embarrassment, according to the Labour Party.

During the court hearing, there was fighting between Apapa and the supporters of Mr. Julius Abure, the party's temporarily suspended national chairman.

The two groups vying for control of the party's national leadership were denied recognition by the court.

The party asserted in a tweet posted on its Twitter account that the Apapa faction was present in court to shorten the session.

The message states, "Rebel former Deputy National Chairman of Labour Party, Lamidi Apapa made true his threat to truncate the Presidential Election Tribunal by attempting to appear as a representative of the @NgLabour at the ongoing hearing but was refused by the Tribunal. He was thoroughly disgraced."
