Can LP Leadership Crisis Affect Peter Obi’s Petition At Appeal Court? | KOTM LIVE (MAY 15)
The legal team of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi and the party has ignored the 48 hours ultimatum given by the party’s factional leader, Lamidi Apapa to brief him about the petitions before the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.
According to reports, the lead counsel to Obi and the Labour Party, Levi Uzoukwu (SAN), on Sunday, said the legal team has no business with Apapa, as the factional leader didn’t brief them and so they are not answerable to him in any way.
The team’s reaction follows Apapa’s directive on Friday that all the lawyers in charge of the petition at the election tribunal should brief him on updates within 48 hours.
The directive came after Justice Hamza Muazu of the Federal High Court in a ruling on Friday held that the court had the jurisdiction to hear the party’s matter and make the order restraining the party’s embattled National Chairman, Julius Abure and three others from parading themselves as national officers of the Labour Party, maintaining that the court would not stand by and allow a wrong in a political party.
However, Abure and the legal team had on Friday intended to challenge the ruling on its objection at the Court of Appeal.
