A support group of Labour Party’s presidential candidate ahead of the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, has accused the party chairman of Lagos State, Kayode Salako of secretly working for the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
The group which is known as Peter Obi Grassroots Mobilization 2023 Movement, made the allegation on its Twitter handle recently and called on the national leadership of the LP to instantly remove Salako as he was working against the party’s interest in Lagos.
The group tweeted: “Labour Party Chairman in Lagos Kayode Salako is working for Tinubu. We must root him out of the party.”
However, Salako debunked the allegation swiftly and said he was focused on getting victory for the party in the forthcoming governorship election in the state.
He said: “My utmost goal is to win elections and to deliver Lagos for the Labour Party. If I can’t win elections, then it is not worth it.
“If a political party is existing, but can’t win elections, it won’t only be called an unserious party.
”The utmost goal of the executives for the 2023 general elections in Nigeria, is to run the party well and make sure it becomes the next ruling party in Lagos.
“I do not believe in impossibilities. It is possible and it is doable! The divine grace of God that is upon the Labour Party and its presidential candidate, Peter Gregory Obi, right now can make it happen.
“I want my name to be written in gold in the book of Nigeria’s history, as that son of a nobody, who came, ruled his party well, and for about the first time, he won elections in Lagos State.
“My mission is to win elections for my party. That is the place, where my fulfillment will ever lie as the chairman of the Labour Party in the state.”
