Labour Party Restrategises To Sustain Peace

The Labour Party, LP in Lagos State says it has put machinery in place to end factionalisation by various aggrieved groups within the party.

The Lagos LP Chairperson, Dayo Ekong, disclosed this in an interview with newsmen on Monday.

According to her, the party must be united to brighten its chances in future elections in the state and in the country.

“We are working on peace already. There is also a peace reconciliatory committee in place that is looking into these factions and groups within the party,” Ekong said.

She said that the party was working to bring everyone on board.

The LP boss urged all the aggrieved party stakeholders to think of the party above any other interest.

Report says there are some factional groups in the party laying claim to be leaders of the party in the state.

The crisis rocking the Labour Party has worsened in Lagos State with the emergence of a factional leader, Olumide Adesoyin, in July 2023.

The Adesoyin-led faction disowned the Ekong-led executive committee, which led the party into the 2023 general election in the state.

Similarly, the chapter has another faction loyal to the former Lagos state chairman of LP, Prince Ifagbami Awamaridi.
