The former Chairman of Nigerian Bar Association, Olumide Akpata has officially joined the Labour Party.
Confirming joining the party, Akpata wrote: “Quite a number of people have called/messaged me to confirm the news, currently making the rounds, that I have joined a political party. Yes…I joined the Labour Party (LP) in March this year and on Sunday I attended my first Ward Meeting at Oredo Ward 6, in Benin-City, where I was formally introduced to members of the Ward and presented with my Party membership card.
This was a major step for me and not one that I took lightly…but I simply got tired of complaining about Nigeria every day and bemoaning her fate and I decided to take the plunge and to try to be part of the solution rather than agonising continually over the problem.
This, for me, is the start of a very important journey, and it is my prayer that I arrive safely at my destination, Akpata stated.
