“If not God, I would’ve met my ancestors” – Lamidi Apapa recounts after humiliates by Peter Obi’s Supporters

Lamidi Apapa, the Acting Chairman of the Labour Party, recently experienced a distressing incident at the Court of Appeal in Abuja. Supporters of Peter Obi, a prominent political figure, subjected Apapa to humiliation, forcing him to leave the premises. In the aftermath of this unfortunate event, Apapa expressed gratitude to God for protecting him from harm.

The incident occurred during the proceedings of the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC), where Apapa had attended as a representative of the Labour Party.

However, the situation took an unexpected turn when supporters of Peter Obi confronted and mistreated him, ultimately driving him away from the court premises. The details of the specific reasons behind the altercation remain unclear.

In response to the incident, Lamidi Apapa expressed his gratitude to God for safeguarding his life. He emphasized the importance of divine intervention, suggesting that if it were not for the protection of God, the situation could have escalated and potentially resulted in physical harm.

Apapa’s ordeal sheds light on the need for mutual respect and tolerance within the political sphere. Political rivalries and disagreements should not give rise to acts of violence or humiliation. Instead, peaceful dialogue and constructive engagement should be encouraged to foster a healthy democratic environment.

It is essential for political leaders and their supporters to promote unity, understanding, and respect for opposing viewpoints. Differences in opinion should be seen as an opportunity for growth and development rather than a cause for animosity. By fostering an atmosphere of inclusivity and open dialogue, political discourse can thrive, leading to better governance and societal progress.

The incident involving Lamidi Apapa serves as a reminder that political leaders and their supporters must prioritize peaceful and respectful interactions. By upholding the values of tolerance and understanding, we can create a society where divergent opinions are respected, and individuals can freely express their beliefs without fear of retribution.
