Few hours to the Governorship and State House of Assembly Elections, the former deputy governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP) and now the party’s governorship flag bearer in Kwara State, Mrs Elizabeth Ehindero Ronke and other members of the executives has debunked the report of the Labour collapsing structure for opposition parties.
Speaking with journalists in Ilorin at the Labour Party Secretariat on Friday, Mrs Elizabeth alongside party secretary, Mrs Tosin Ogunleye and Kwara South Deputy Chairman of the party, Engr. Yinka Oladejo, described people who reportedly defected to the APC as impostors and political jobbers.
According to her “the chairman of the party in the state, High Chief Kehinde Rotimi, remains chairman of the party with other members of the state executive intact.
“We enjoined members of the public and especially electorate in the state to be wary of impostors, the party is standing strong to face election on Saturday and produce the first female governor in the state.
“Although, Public knows the truth, we are only here to clear the facts and reassured all supporters of the Labour Party that we are here with our integrity intact.
“Some impostors, who happened to be the same set of people have been going to PDP and APC for selfish interest” Elizabeth said
Also speaking, the state secretary of the party, Mrs Tosin Ogunleye, described people who reportedly defected to the APC as impostors and political jobbers.
Ogunleye, said “Ladan, had been expelled from the Labour Party before now due to his anti-party activities.
“The party executive led by High Chief Rotimi Kehinde, governorship and house of assembly candidates of the party and other stakeholders are resolute and determined to participate in the Saturday governorship elections to win.
“Members of the state executive are intact, nobody has decamped to APC, and a point to note here is that we’re not forming alliance with any other party in this governorship election. All our House of Assembly candidates in all the state constituencies are contesting in the Saturday elections.
“Most of the people that said they’re decamping to the APC or PDP in Kwara state are either our members or impostors. They are political jobbers and people should not take them seriouly”. She said
Speaking further, the Deputy Chairman of the Labour party in Kwara South Engineer Yinka Oladejo, explained that the party is intact and resolute in winning Saturday’s governorship election in the state.
He, however, appreciates the gesture being given to the party as a new bride in the state.
He urges Kwarans to disregard any information of allying with any political parties in the state.
According to him, “How can we form an alliance with other parties when our principal, Mr Peter Obi, is in court challenging the outcome of the presidential election?
