The Labour Party (LP) in the Southwest, has collapsed its entire structure into the All Progressives Congress(APC).
Chairman of the LP in the South West, Banji Omotoso, said this at a Press Conference in Akure, the capital of Ondo State on Monday.
The LP chieftains who were received into the APC by the National Chairman of SWAGA, Dayo Adeyeye, were led by the Southwest Chairman of the party, Banji Omotosho.
While vowing to work for the victory of the presidential candidate of the APC, Bola Tinubu, at the polls, Omotosho said they decided to decamp to APC after realizing that LP is not viable and lacked the clout to win the 2023 elections.
He maintained that their movement into APC was facilitated by the South West Agenda For Asiwaju, SWAGA, 2023, under the leadership of Sen. Dayo Adeyeye and other members of the group
“The Labor Party presently is a shaky platform for anybody to contest. It is a failure platform for anybody to contest. I don’t know Peter Obi, and I’m less concerned about him than I am about those who are celebrating the Labour Party’s mediocrity within Nigeria.
“In view of this, we leaders of the Labour Party in the Southwest have decided to leave the party because we have a lot of mediocre there, and what they are looking for is money, they are not ready to serve Nigeria.”
On his part, Adeyeye assured the decampees will be fully integrated into the party and they will not regret their actions.
