Despite the abuse he received on Wednesday, Lamidi Apapa, the factional national chairman of the Labour Party, has declared that he will assault the Presidential Petition Tribunal once more on Friday.
According to MDB, Apapa was booed out of court by supporters of the party’s national chairman, Julius Abure, after an altercation between Apapa and party members over a seat in the courtroom.

The hearing was postponed to Friday, May 19 because the court declined to recognise the two factions.
Lamidi Apapa promised to show up in court on Friday, though, in a statement made during a Thursday interview on Arise Television’s Morning Show.
He also accused the presidential candidate of the party in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, and the suspended National Chairman, Julius Abure of allegedly sponsoring thugs to beat him out of the Presidential Petition Tribunal on Wednesday.
Apapa emphasized that his presence in court was driven by his sense of responsibility as the genuine acting National Chairman of the party and his duty to exercise authority as the party’s representative.
He said;
It was my responsibility as the authentic acting National Chairman of the party to exercise my authority as representative of the party.
