All 21 local government chairmen of the Labour Party in Kogi State have defected to the All Progressives Congress.\u00a0
he chairmen said they collapsed their structure in order to support the APC governorship candidate, Usman Ododo, in the November 11, 2023 election.
At the official decamping ceremony on Thursday in Lokoja, the defectors said LP was no longer viable in the state. They further anchored their reason for abandoning their party for the APC on the conviction that the APC candidate, Usman Ododo, had shown that he is a unifier whose nationalist qualities are needed to consolidate on the achievements of Governor Yahaya Bello.
Leading the chairmen, scores of their supporters and other members of Labour Party at the defection ceremony, Kogi State coordinator of the Obidient Movement, Awe Kayode, said the Labour Party structure in the state was a formidable one that delivered massive votes to the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, without inducement or support.
He stressed that their decision to collapse the LP structure into the APC was to join forces with the Progressives to actualipe the ‘Kogi Agenda’ which seeks to further unite the people and ensure even development across board.HOW CHINESE DOCTOR RECOMMEND THIS MAGIC DRUGS THAT HELP WOMEN PREVENT AND TREAT BREAST CANCER AND ALSO HELP MEN PREVENT AND CURE PROSTATE ISSUE PERMANENTLY
