He said, “Before I honour him, I will consult the executive of the party, so if they ask me to go ahead, I will do. If the executive says go ahead it becomes our position.

“It’s not going to be my position. If they say go and see him or we are going to see him, it becomes the position of the party not the position of Alhaji Bashiru Lamidi Apapa.

“All of us will collectively go and see him. That is if we have the mandate of the house that we are going to see him.”

Recall that Apapa and his faction have been at loggerheads with the faction of the suspended National Chairman of the party, Julius Abure over the leadership of the party.

Some factions of the party clashed at the Court of Appeal in Abuja, venue of the Presidential Election Petition Court on Wednesday.

After being mobbed by some youths who were present at the court to witness the petition filed by Obi challenging the outcome of the 2023 presidential election, Apapa was placed in protective custody by security operatives stationed at the court.
