Lamidi Apapa, the acting factional National Chairman of the Labour Party, alongside the party’s presidential candidate for the 2023 election, were present at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal court in Abuja as pre-hearing continued.
Despite being booed out of the court on Wednesday, Apapa remained undeterred and vowed to represent the party on Friday, which he did.
Speaking to journalists on Thursday, Apapa remained resolute, stating that he would return to the tribunal in Abuja, hoping that “Maybe by the next one, I will be recognised”.
The acting factional National Chairman explained that he tried to attend the proceeding on Wednesday to assert his authority as the party’s acting national chairman.
As of Friday morning, Apapa was seen seated at the back of the courtroom, instead of the area reserved for Labour Party representatives.
