Nigeria's aviation minister, Hadi Sirika, has been accused of fraudulent activity by presenting a rented and hastily repainted Boeing 737-800 from Ethiopian Airlines as an aircraft belonging to the phantom "Nigeria Air." Evidence from Nigerian born journalist, David Hundeyin reveals that the aircraft, bearing the registration number ET-APL, is clearly owned by Ethiopian Airlines and is still in active service. The journalist pointed out that the minister, through misrepresentation, intended to commission the aircraft as part of the Nigeria Air project, which raises questions about the ownership and technical agreement between Ethiopian Airlines and Nigeria Air. The incident has sparked controversy and demands for answers regarding the billions of naira spent on the project and the minister's actions. The aircraft took off from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, at 9:55am on Friday and landed at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, at 12:43 p.m. The plane has now landed in Abuja, but attempts to conceal its registration number have raised further suspicions surrounding the situation. showed that the aircraft flew for its original airline up till Sunday. It embarked on a trip from Addis Ababa to Tel Aviv in Israel, according to the flight history. Flightradar, the popular flight tracking website, said  the aircraft operated between Tel Aviv and Mogadishu, Somalia, still on May 21,  2023. On May 20, it operated both Mogadishu in Somalia and Beirut on while the previous day it also served Beirut, the capital of Lebanon. Ethiopian Airlines is the majority shareholder in Nigeria Air project. It has a 49% stake, a structure which made domestic airlines under the Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) file a suit against the Federal Government.

Nigeria's presidential election petition tribunal sitting in Abuja, has fixed Friday May 19, 2023 for the continuation of pre-hearing petition filed by the presidential candidate of Labour Party against the president elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu. At the resumed hearing, counsel for Labour Party, Lebi Uzoukwu informed the court that the scheduled meeting to agree on documents to be tendered for hearing hasn’t yielded much results as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has only made available 30% of the documents required from them. He added that this is contrary to commitment by the INEC Chairman, Mahmoud Yakubu, that all documents required shall be made available. He further added that the party is yet to get documents with respect to Rivers State where he said the Resident Electoral Commissioner said there are no forms EC8A available to be given but is yet to put that in writing despite request to do so. But Counsel for INEC, Abubakar Mahmoud, however, said he is surprised by the allegations of the counsel for the Labour party as they they did not show up for the meeting as agreed, and walked out of the rescheduled meeting. Abubakar added that the documents for Rivers and Sokoto states, where indeed provided, but the Labour Party refused to pay the sum of 1.5million naira for Sokoto State, and the Form EC8A for Rivers State, have not been given to them. He added that some documents were given to the party, but refused to collect it until it was complete.

Rebel former Deputy National Chairman of Nigeria's Labour Party, Lamidi Apapa made true his threat to truncate the Presidential Election Tribunal by attempting to appear as representative of the @NgLabour at the ongoing hearing but was refused by the Tribunal. He was thoroughly disgraced. There was drama at the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal on Wednesday when the two factions of Labour Party clashed. Trouble started when Lamidi Apapa, factional chairman of the party, walked into the court premises alongside some of his supporters. Apapa who is locked in a battle with Julius Abure, earlier suspended chairman of the party, had arrived the court for the case of a petition which Peter Obi, Presidential Candidate of the party, filed against the victory of President-elect Bola Tinubu. He made attempts to sit where Labour Party officials were and a shouting match ensued. “Who are you?” a party official asked Apapa, who fired back saying, “Who are you too?” When the LP matter was called, Peter Obi and the party’s Women Leader, Dudu Manoga, introduced themselves on the record of the court. But when Apapa stood up to introduce himself as the National Chairman, the presiding justice of the court, Justice Haruna Tsammani requested him to stop the introduction as the court will not recognise the ‘National Chairman’ on record. Abure, who sat next to Obi, did not, however attempt to introduce himself. Apapa had earlier vowed to take control of the party and to withdraw the petition and motions before the court ahead of the sitting following the ruling of an FCT High Court sustaining Abure’s suspension. The LP has since appealed the ruling. During Wednesday’s sitting, the LP’s lawyers, the lawyers to Bola Tinubu, the APC and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) are expected to show the extent of their harmonisation of non-contentious issues and motions to be relied upon during the main hearing. Meanwhile, the Presidential Election Petition Court has adjourned to Friday, May 19, 2023, the pre-hearing of the petition against the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, by the Labour Party and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi. The court headed by Justice Haruna Tsammani fixed the date, following the failure of parties in the petition to agree on documents among other reasons.
The "factional" acting national chairman of Nigeria's Labour Party, Lamidi Apapa got it hot in the court Wednesday as he was booed and pursued out of the court premises. https://youtu.be/6-v3IsJCV5Y The appearance of the factional chairman of the Labour Party at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal on Wednesday in Abuja was met with boos and jeers. Members of the party in the camp of the National Chairman of the party, Julius Abure taunted Apapa. The incident occurred outside the Appeal Court, venue of the Tribunal sitting at the nation’s Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. Apapa was led out of the premises by a policeman amid the loud boos of party members. Earlier, there was drama as the Tribunal resumed pre-hearing of the petition of LP presidential candidate, Peter Obi against the President-Elect, Bola Tinubu. The disagreement between the two camps of the Labour Party on which group should be in court happened just when the Tribunal commenced sitting.
