 Ogun Labour Party frowns at Abiodun’s endorsement for second term

The Labour Party in Ogun State has faulted the endorsement of the state governor, Dapo Abiodun for second term.

The party said the governor was endorsed by suspended members of the party.

The party in the statement signed by the Publicity Secretary of the Caretaker Committee in the state, Tokunbo Peters, on Friday, described the endorsement as misleading.

Abiodun had been endorsed by the state chairman, Michael Ashade and the National Publicity Secretary, Abayomi Arabambi who were said to have been suspended by the national leadership of the party.

The Independent National Electoral Commission had excluded the name of the governorship candidate of the party in the state, Kehinde Sogunle due to a  court case.

But reacting to the endorsement of the governor who is the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, the party said Labour Party could not enter into any alliance with the APC in the state.

The statement read, “The purported endorsement is not only misleading but also a poor attempt at hoodwinking unsuspecting members of the public and the electorate into believing that the Labour Party is in alliance with the All Progressive Congress in Ogun state.
