Director Media and Publicity of the presidential campaign council of Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bayo Onanuga, has reacted to the news that the so called acting chairman of the Labour Party (LP), Lamidi Apapa, has asked lawyers to brief him on all pending petitions of the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi before the election tribunal.
Onanuga’s thinking is that the ruling of Justice Hamza Muazu of the Federal High Court Abuja, which stands till May 19, puts in jeopardy the election petition of the Labour Party’s presidential candidate.
After the court ruled that it has jurisdiction in the case filed by some disgruntled members of the Labour Party, Apapa declared that he is now in charge.
Apapa subsequently directed all the party’s lawyers handling its election petition before the presidential election petition tribunal to brief him within 48 hours on the processes so far.
Onanuga said Apapa’s directive would send chills down the spines of Obi and his lawyers.
