Lamidi Apapa, the factional chairman of the Labour Party (LP), has in his interview following his disgraceful outing at the Presidential Election Tribunal, threatened to expose Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of LP in the last elections.
Apapa who claims being the authentic chairman of the Labour Party (LP) was embroiled in heated argument with some national leaders of the Labour Party in the Presidential Election Tribunal sitting in Abuja yesterday.
He was subsequently ordered out of the court by the presiding judge who also accused him of indiscipline. Consequently, aided by some police escort, Lamidi Apapa was led out of the court; however, some aggrieved Nigerians at the court premises who found Apapa's action as sabotage on the New-Nigeria-Movement, yanked off his cap from his head.
In his recent interview Apapa said, “On the allegation of bribe taking, it’s not true. If you have your evidence to prove, bring your evidence that I have collected money or we’ve collected money from anybody. It’s absolutely untrue."
“On Peter Obi taking sides, I don’t want to expose him, but he deserves to be exposed. Sometime ago, in one of the interviews he (Obi) granted, he said he does not know me at all.
“I have been trying to cover him, but he does not deserve it. The reasons are this: This is a man, during his primary in Asaba, I did the opening prayer. And I was not a young officer.
"I was the deputy national chairman of the party. I have been 21 years in this party. I have held a lot of positions in this party to the level I am today.
“Obi’s first campaign started in Benin. I was in Benin with him. And we used his aircraft from Benin back to Abuja–chartered plane. Not only that, when he came to Ekiti (Afe Babalola University), I led the team that hosted him in that campus. We were there for over two hours. I led the team to the palace. And he doesn’t know me?”
