Lamidi Apapa, the splinter group’s national chairman, has pledged to again storm the Presidential Petition Tribunal on Friday.
As they both asserted control over the party, Apapa and Mr. Julius Abure’s groups fought at the court hearing on Wednesday.
The hearing was postponed to Friday, May 19 because the court declined to acknowledge the two factions.
However, Apapa stated that he will appear in court on Friday while discussing the situation on Thursday’s episode of Arise Television’s Morning Show.
He also accused the presidential candidate of the party in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, and the suspended National Chairman, Julius Abure of allegedly sponsoring thugs to beat him out of the Presidential Petition Tribunal on Wednesday.
According to him, he was in the court on Wednesday because “it was my responsibility as the authentic acting National Chairman of the party to exercise my authority as representative of the party”.
