THE GENESIS OF THE TROUBLE IN LABOUR PARTY
By An Eye-Witness/Neighbor
Sometime in late March this year, 2023, Lamidi Apapa lived in a low scale area in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. He was an inconspicuous, low-life political jobber without any genuine means of livelihood. He simply moves from one political meeting to another and usually ends up with a brown envelope which corrupt politicians give to their hangers-on just to warm up the base in case they need them for their nefarious activities in the future.
Many politicians do this, so this is not a big deal. The issue here is that Lamidi Apapa does his business differently. While other political jobbers usually collect their envelopes from the party they belong to; Lamidi Apapa collects envelopes from any politician willing to hire him for any mischief. In other words, he collects money from politicians from Labour, APC, PDP, AC, or whatever.
In the world of lager or beer parlor parlance, you can say that Lamidi Apapa does not have a specific brand. He is an ACB, who drinks Any Cold Beer. Sometimes, Apapa would even accept peanuts from any politician; he is that shameless.
In early March after the Presidential Election robbery was announced at 4:00am while Nigerians were asleep, some of Lamidi Apapa’s neighbors began to notice a huge presence of policemen in front and inside of Apapa’s residence. The concerned neighbors were worried about the sudden attention their neighborhood was getting. In addition to the law enforcement operatives, several motorcades of politicians began to show up in the late hours of night to see Mr. Apapa. The anxious neighbors also noticed that the convey of politicians were hauling bags of Ghana Must Go as they enter his residence.
After two days of these oddity in their neighborhood, the neighbor who lives adjacent to Mr. Apapa spotted his wife and one of his sons driving a brand new Land Cruiser and a Lexus SUV, respectfully. Unable to make sense of the situation, the neighbor flagged down Apapa’s son as he was about to zoom off and had the following exchange with him:
Neighbor: “Bros, what is going on inside and around your house?”
Apapa’s son: “Boy, our level don change ooo! My old man is now working for Asiwaju, the President-Elect.”
Two days after the above conversation, Lamidi Apapa relocated to Abuja. A few weeks later, Mr.Apapa and his co-travelers hijacked Labour Party leadership and have continued since then to destroy Labour Party as Bola Tinubu’s hired surrogates.
So, when Lamidi Apapa asks you to show the proof that he received a bribe from Tinubu, you need to ask him three simple questions (don’t make them complex because he lacks understanding):
1. When did Nigerians begin to issue a receipt for a bribe money?
2. How would you explain the Ghana Must Go bags that were hauled into your house after the Presidential Election result was announced?
3. How would you explain the sudden gift of two SUVs to your family? Who is paying for your stay in a five-star hotel in Abuja ever since you relocated to Abuja?
The above is the eye-witness account of the genesis of the recent trouble in Labour Party.
What next is Bola Tinubu planning to destroy before he sets the entire Nigeria ablaze?
