Maduabuchi, SAN, told the court that he was instructed by the party to appear on its behalf and to represent it in the matter.

Presidential Election Petition Court, PEPC, sitting in Abuja on Friday has dismissed a senior advocate of Nigeria hired by Lamidi Apapa-led faction of the Labour Party, to take over the ongoing case at the tribunal.

It was gathered that immediately the petition of the party and its candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, filed to challenge the outcome of the presidential election that held on February 25, was called up for hearing and lawyers were asked to announce their appearances, Chief Oba Maduabuchi, SAN, stood up and told the court that he was briefed to represent the LP.

The senior lawyer addressed the court after Prof. Awa Kalu, SAN, who appeared alongside five others SANs, had already announced his presence as counsel for the petitioners.

Maduabuchi, SAN, told the court that he was instructed by the party to appear on its behalf and to represent it in the matter.

However, the Justice Haruna Tsammani-led five-member panel of the court declined to record his appearance.

“You did not file this petition. Let the person that filed the case announce appearance. We cannot record you,” Justice Tsammani held.

Another member of the panel berated Maduabuchi, SAN, for accepting the brief when he was aware that the party already had its team of lawyers.

“As a learned silk, you should know better and you should have told whoever that briefed you that there is another lawyer handling the matter,” a member of the panel added.

Realising that he would not be allowed to take over the case, Maduabuchi, said he would go back and relate what happened in court to his client.

“That is not our business. You can either leave the court or sit and observe the proceedings,” Chairman of the panel, Justice Tsammani added.

Earlier, Obi, who was in court, had announced himself as the representative of the petitioners.

Remarkably, the two factional Chairmen of the party, Julius Abure and Lamidi Apapa, were both in court for the matter.

It will be recalled that irate youths had on Tuesday, attacked Apapa at the court premises, accusing him of yielding himself as a tool in the hands of people seeking to disintegrate the party.

Apapa, who denied the allegation that he received N500million to scuttle Obi’s case against Tinubu, was subsequently taken into protective custody by security operatives attached to the court.

What happened with the lamidi lawyer is the rascality that PODATTI has been hammering on.

So shameful and disgraceful that a SAN will donate himself to be used as tissue paper .

The FOOL is actually a Card carrying member of the CORN party.

He's very useless & I love how he was disgraced today in court.
When he was leaving with his smelly wig , Lamidi Apapa also followed him behind & they both left.

Even when he was interviewed outside the court premises,he refused to introduce himself.
That legal tout should ensure he collect enough money for the disgrace he brought upon himself & his family.
Many useless SANS will do down ,just wait for it.

In Nigeria, Prof, Pastor, Imam, SAN, police, etc are criminals. Not all but most.

Lamidi thinks like the cocaine sniffer called Bola Ahmed Tinubu

The esteemed Native Doctor is now humble

What Lamidi Apapa is looking for will surely consume him.
