Southwest Leaders Of Labor Party Speak After Decamping To APC (29563 Views)

HenryThegreat1(m): 5:16am On Feb 14, 2023
The Southwest LP leaders gave the verdict shortly before they collapsed the entire party’s structure into the ruling All Progressives Congress.

They said the LP was not in the race to win any election but to garner money.

Leader of the party in the Southwest, Omotoso Banji, who led other leaders to the All Progressives Congress(APC), described the LP as a shaky platform.

Other leaders of LP that defected were the party’s chairman in Osun State Tunde Omotunde and his Ekiti State counterpart,  Alabi Adeeyo; Ondo Secretary of LP, Omowumi Olosola, Stella Alabi from Lagos State amongst others.

Omotoso said leaders of Southwest LP decided to quit the party because it was not viable and lacked the clout to win the 2023 elections.

He said: “Labour Party presently is a shaky platform for anybody to contest, Labour Party is a failure platform for anybody to contest, I don’t know Peter Obi and I’m less concerned about him but I’m concerned about those celebrating the Labour Party mediocre within Nigeria.

“In view of this, we leaders of the Labour Party in the South-West 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.

“Labour Party is not ready to serve Nigeria and that is why we decided to leave the party and come together with the APC. I collapsed the structures of the party in Ekiti state. So, I don’t know how the Obi can come now and embarrass us here in the South-West.

“We are the pillars of that party in the South-West, and to the glory of God Almighty, we have pulled down the structures today. I was so surprised to hear from the DG of the party, Akin Osuntokun, we don’t know him in Labour Party, Akin Osuntokun is representing his own personal interest.

“So, it is better for you, Akin Osuntokun to come back to the APC and work for Bola Tinubu. I’m here to talk to you Yorubas, to please Tinubu because he is our own. If you don’t vote for Tinubu, you’re a bastard to Yoruba land.

“We are leaving and collapsing the Labour Party structures in the entire South-West through Senator Dayo Adeyeye into APC. Nobody born of good parents in Yoruba land that will by Tinubu and vote for another party.”

Omotunde said they decided not to waste their time in the LP again.

“They are not after winning the election but to share the money. Politics started at the unit level. To win an election, you must start from the unit. Obi cannot go anywhere. There is no way the LP will fly. Asiwaju Tinubu will win this election.”

Receiving the defectors, National Coordinator of SWAGA 2023, Dayo Adeyeye, however, charged them and others APC across the South-West to go back to their various polling units and canvass votes for Tinubu.

According to Adeyeye: “Tinubu is a man of ion, action and vision, who is ready to transform this country and whether they like it or not, Tinubu is going to win.”
Adeyeye urged the CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele, to heed advised by the Council of State on the current new naira note scarcity.

The former LP leaders and tore their hip cards.

Please, don't descend to this level in your thesis/dissertation.

Absolutely no help I can offer, if you asked for help on this.

This will require a set aside for a fresh start.

Obi will have more votes than Tinubu in Ondo State alone where I'm from. Don't even mention Lagos, Osun and Oyo all in SW where Obi's vote cast will dwarf that of APC. Are they thinking only Elderly people will vote in the elections. Most of the youths in South West will queue behind Obi's Labour Party on Feb 25th.


The few youths ing Tinubu in South West are still those with familial ties to of APC and card carrying of APC who have access to Social media and make so much noise on Twitter and places like Nairaland

Tinubu has lost much respect among the youths in South West.

Right from time, the Oblidients disassociated from you people. We knew what you are capable of. With or without the criminality minded structure, we will prevail.

I hope we can cleanse the system afterwards or build a better youth centric platform.

If Tinubu can fake bishops, is it party leaders that he cannot fake? Such a desperate man is dangerous to any democracy!



“So, it is better for you, Akin Osuntokun to come back to the APC and work for Bola Tinubu. I’m here to talk to you Yorubas, to please Tinubu because he is our own. If you don’t vote for Tinubu, you’re a bastard to Yoruba land.

Such a stupid statement from someone who is supposed to be an elder. Does wisdom no longer come with age? The youths should wake up, these old farts are the ones who destroyed Nigeria during their youth with politics of bigotry and hate. We need to break that barrier and seize our future for ourselves! LP will usher in a new Nigeria where the power lies solely on the people. If after 4 years Obi fuks up, we can sack him and employ someone else. Rinse and repeat♻️ until we finally get it right!

politics is really a dirty game
The real fear is, If anything happens to Tinubu, Shettima and El Rufai will be in charge and they will bring the same chaos in their respective states to the whole nation.

Bastard kill you there...

A man from Kenya ruled America and today, one from india is ruling Britain but one fool is trying to dehumanize others with his washed ideas of what a progressive country would look like
..


When average Yoruba man and his family were thrown into poverty by Buhari who emerged after Tinubu deceived them that he is the messiah, where were you guys..

Beautiful thing about this whole drama is that the wise Yorubas have long denounce such allegiance and are ready to make a non tribal decision come 28 of February

Lol Tinubu moles in the LP has finally left; unfortunately for them, their living labour party did not raise the kind of impression that they had intended. Their plan was to make this defection weaken the party completely but they forget that Obi has a followership that is fuelled by the youths who are ready to seize back their country. Is it not in ogun state the other day that Yoruba youths were destroying Tinubu's posters??

Anyways, We all know that Tinubu is a regional candidate and that is why he will come 3rd in the presidential election, getting only a few vote above Kwankwaso.

There is no state in Nigeria where Tinubu has not made somebody. The other candidates are only care for their tribe's men. That is why I will vote for him. I'm not a yoruba man.

Some of them could be positioned for this action in the first place. Secondly, They must have been heavily and handsomely rewarded for the act. Unfortunately, Nigerians are not voting for party at this time but individuals.
