Lamidi Apapa

In a dramatic turn of events at the presidential election petition tribunal in Abuja, Bashir Lamidi Apapa, the factional chairman of the Labour Party, faced a wave of disapproval from the crowd on Wednesday. The atmosphere was filled with chants of 'Ole! Ole!', a Yoruba word meaning 'thief', as Apapa exited the Appeal Court.

Earlier during the court proceedings, Apapa had caused a scene, drawing attention to himself. As he made his way out of the court premises, the crowd's mockery intensified. Despite being accompanied by policemen, Apapa faced difficulties reaching his parked car while the onlookers captured the incident on their phones.

Apapa attempted to engage a group of journalists after the proceedings, but the continuous noise from the crowd disrupted the process. Eventually, Apapa decided to walk away, but the attention remained fixed on the jeering crowd.

Amidst the tribunal's dramatic events, the hearing on Peter Obi's petition has been adjourned until Friday. The focus now shifts to the unfolding developments in this high-profile case.
