A male Twitter user has taken to the platform to recount how he escapes death following a car crash he was involved in after turning up at the presidential election petition court to boo Labour Party factional leader, Lamidi Apapa. Recall that shortly after Apapa was stopped from sitting at a spot for Labour Party officials days ago, he was booed out of court by some Labour Party members who were heard chanting “ole” (thief).

He tweeted; “I cheated death today. I left Abuja after making sure Apapa Lamidi collect wotowoto at the court. On my way to Lafia-Nasarawa State I had an accident. My car is just beyond repair. I thank God I came out alive.” I cheated death today. I left Abuja after making sure Apapa Lamidi collect wotowoto at the court. On my way to Lafia-Nasarawa State I had an accident.

However, shouts of Ole, a Yoruba word for thief, rend the air and disrupted the interview. He hurriedly tried leaving the court and was shielded by policemen as he struggled to get to where his car was parked. Here are videos from the scene below… They have booed Apapa from the premises 🤣🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/Ngx3iDweqK — Esther Umoh (@EstherUmoh10) May 17, 2023 “Apapa Ole”🤣🤣🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/MaBD2CadDs — Esther Umoh (@EstherUmoh10) May 17, 2023 
Lamidi was first spotted sitting outside the courtroom early this morning with some members of his entourage. Ladies and gentlemen I present to you, your favorite man and his friends lamidi apapa sitting outside the court 🫠🤭 His shoes are giving🤌🔥 pic.twitter.com/mmeqd2TV0c — Weyimi B. Lube 𓃵 (@_weyimi) May 17, 2023 Shortly after the video was shared, he was seen confronting some members of the party inside the courtroom before the day’s activity began. Eyewitnesses revealed Lamidi directed his anger mainly at the Director General of Peter Obi’s presidential campaign council, Akin Osuntokun, for sitting at a spot he claimed was reserved for him and other members of his faction. Somebody was embarrassed at the court house today. 🤣🤣 Lamidi Apapa, don’t be angry🤭🤣 pic.twitter.com/4Gx53wr7PH — Weyimi B. Lube 𓃵 (@_weyimi) May 17, 2023 Lamidi Apapa and his fellow paraders are in the court room demanding to sit down.
“There is no doubt that I am now in charge. It has now been confirmed by the court that I have the right to be in charge until another order takes place. “As of today, I am the acting national chairman of the party and any other person that parades himself as the chairman is doing so illegally. “I want to invite all the lawyers that are in charge, representing Labour Party at the election tribunal, to give me updates in the next 48 hours because I am the one in charge and the one in the driver’s seat.” Congratulations to Pa Lamidi Apapa on his big win at the court.

According to the party, approaching the tribunals to withdraw all the cases lodged by Labour Party candidates across the board is the height of subterfuge and treachery, and Nigerians will resist this ploy to plunge the nation into unnecessary turmoil. The statement read; “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. “Alongside Lamidi Apapa on the plot to frustrate Labour Party’s destined victory in the tribunals and also to derail the fledging democracy are some of the suspended members including the Samuel Akingbade, Gbenga Daramola, Anselem Eragbe and Abayomi Arabambi erstwhile National Legal Adviser, National Financial Secretary, National Youth Leader and National Publicity Secretary respectively amongst others. “Recall that the leadership of the Labour Party has been swimming through the murky waters of conspiracy, treachery and sabotage orchestrated by these former officers of the party. 
According to the report, some fire services operators, police operatives, and other emergency responders have mobilized to rescue people trapped under the debris. The collapse of the 5-storey building came after a seven-storey building collapsed in Banana Island, in the Ikoyi area of the state a few days ago. The cause of the rampant collapse of buildings in Nigeria has not been ascertained yet as more than five cases have already been reported across the state this year. The rescue operatives are yet to record and casualty from the collapse of the 5-storey building in Apapa.
