The Chairman of the Labour Party (LP) in Lagos State, Pastor Dayo Ekong, has described a former state party chairman, Kayode Salako as a mole planted by the ruling All Progressive Congress(APC) to destabilise the party. There were reports that Kayode and his wife, Foluke Daramola, went after the party's Lagos gubernatorial candidate, Rhodes-Vivour, last week, accusing him of ignoring the former chairman after handing him a party ticket. Kayode and Rhodes-Vivour had been at odds since the governorship election was over.
April 4, 2023The Chairman of the Labour Party in Lagos State, Pastor Dayo Ekong, has described a former state party chairman, Kayode Salako as a mole planted by the ruling All Progressive Congress to destabilise the party.
“Sadly, this condition is used by others to manipulate him for political gain. I wish him well and hope he gets the medical attention he needs.” She said:"It's sad that somebody like Salako, who was a chairman in the Labour Party, could talk about his party's gubernatorial candidates this way. The truth of the matter is that, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour represents what the Labour Party ideology is all about. Salako to me represents the old system, the old ways of APC PDP. And there is no doubt that with the values of the Labour Party, he does not represent what the Labour Party stands for.
"Salako had a mission. And he knows what he came into the Labour Party to do. Let me quote him verbatim from the interview he granted the Punch newspaper when he was asked why he and his wife are supporting different political parties.
