Apapa’s LP faction accepts tribunal judgement, accuses Peter Obi of defr@uding the party

The Lamidi Apapa-led faction of Labour Party has accepted the judgement of the Presidential Election Petition Court which dismissed the petition of Peter Obi, its Presidential candidate in the February 25 presidential election.

A five-member panel led by Justice Haruna Tsammani had on Wednesday, September 6, dismissed the party’s petitions challenging the outcome of the election for lack of merit.

Peter Obi has just gone on a wild goose chase. Imagine the candidate that failed to fund the party in order to engage the number of required polling agents, also the filing of the witnesses outside the stipulated time has shown that the legal team is a failure.

Some of us have been saying that Peter Obi decided to go to the tribunal to justify all the money he collected during the campaign, all that money was corr¥ptly siphoned.

It’s unfortunate that Obi failed to convince the Tribunal those polling units where he was rigged out. Thus, our previous position has now been confirmed that Peter Obi was just all out to defr@ud our party of donations made towards 2023 general election which was in a scary sum of $15million and N12 billion…(continue reading from next slide.)
