The executives of the Labour Party (LP) in the six states of Southwest led by the LP chairman, Omotoso Banji, have agreed to collapse their entire structure into the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The decision was taken with several party executives including Omowumi Olosola, Ondo Secretary of LP, Sola Alabi amongst others in Akure, the capital of Ondo State.
On Sunday, Kano State governorship candidate of the Labour Party, Bashir Bashir, dumped his party for the APC. Bashir, alongside LP chieftains in Kano, on January 21 ignored the party’s presidential rally held in Kano.
Other party excos who shunned the rally were Mohammed Zarewa; the state coordinator for Peter Obi’s campaign, Balarabe Wakili; and a member of the presidential campaign council, Idris Dambazau. Bashir has since endorsed Bola Tinubu, the flagbearer of the APC.
