Labour party chairman resigns

,,,,,In a dramatic move, the Lagos State Chairman of the Labour Party (LP), Kayode Salako, has resigned from his position and handed over the party structure in the state to Mrs. Dayo Ekong as the new chairman.

….The resignation came after Salako was appointed as the Special Adviser on Lagos Affairs and Liaison operations to the National Chairman of the Party, Comrade Julius Abure.

During his handover, Salako denied rumors that he was working for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), describing himself as a sincere and honest party member.

He stated, “I can’t be a mole in a political party I am contesting. I am so grateful that Labour Party made me not APC for the many many years I was with them.”

He further added that “I cannot continue to run the affairs of the party because I am also one of the contestants. I have to hand over. This is the structure we have built for months. The greatest asset any politician can have is the structure.”

…The new chairman, Mrs. Dayo Ekong, promised an all-inclusive administration, urging all members to support one another for the set goals of winning at the state level and also at the Federal level.

,,,,She said, “I want to assure you that the tenure will be an inclusive one and nobody will be sidelined. Let us all sit and drop our swords. Let us support each other so that we can achieve the set goal and end the political slavery in Lagos state.”
