A video has emerged of Lamidi Apapa, factional leader of the Labour Party present at the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal in Abuja, on Friday, May 19.

Recall that on Wednesday, Apapa was booed and mocked by some supporters of the Labour Party on his way out of the court.

He however, vowed to return to the appeal court despite alleged threats and attack. He also claimed that the attack on him was masterminded by Peter Obi and Julius Abure.

As the hearing continued on Friday, Apapa was spotted sitting at the back of the courtroom and neatly dressed.

Days ago, Lamidi Apapa was battling the other faction of the party and claiming leadership.

However, in a recent report, Apapa has withdrawn his tussle over the national chairmanship and Abure has been reinstated as the national chairman of the Labour Party.

The video of Apapa calmly sitting in court has brought about some reactions from supporters of the Labour Party as they took to Twitter to shower him praises for his courage.

Below are some reactions and video;

Baba didn't wear a cap today. Guess he was probably & properly advised, and now he's so vigilant.
