Posted by Thandiubani on Wed 26th Apr, 2023 - tori.ng

A spokesman for the Apapa faction, Comrade Abayomi Arabambi while reacting said the claim in san attempt to distract public attention from the real issues will fail.

 
Lamidi Apapa faction of Labour Party has reacted to allegations that it approached presidential election tribunal asking it to drop all cases filed by the party's presidential candidate Peter Obi against Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress.
 
Speaking on Tuesday, Apapa's group said it is cheap blackmail.
 
Recall that we had reported how Labour Party on Tuesday said a faction within the organization was plotting to quash Peter Obi’s lawsuit challenging Bola Tinubu’s election as president-elect.
 
This assertion was made in a statement issued in Abuja by Pastor Obiora Ifoh, the party’s acting national publicity secretary.
 
Ofoh said;
 
Daily, the evil intention of the breakaway faction of the Labour Party, led by the suspended Deputy National Chairman, Lamidi Apapa continues to manifest, and just this morning, our legal team was confronted by the stark revelation that these men have advanced their plot by approaching all the tribunals where our numerous candidates lodged their election petitions arising from the recently held general election.
 
However, the Apapa-led faction, in response, dismissed the claim, stating that it was a ploy by Abure to gain cheap public sympathy.
 
A spokesman for the Apapa faction, Comrade Abayomi Arabambi, told Vanguard over the telephone that the attempt to distract public attention from the real issues will fail.
 
Arabambi said:
 
It is sad, unfortunate, and disheartening that individuals who have been stopped by a court of competent jurisdiction from parading themselves as leaders of our beloved party have resorted to cheap blackmail and subterfuge.
 
Abure and his cohorts cannot speak for our party, and as I speak to you, we have not filed any matter seeking to discontinue our party’s challenge to the outcome of the Presidential election. It is not true.
