By Jeph Ajobaju, Chief Copy Editor
Lagos Labour Party (LP) Chairman Kayode Salako is a mole inside the party planted by All Progressives Congress presidential candidate Bola Tinubu to undermine Peter Obi, a support group for the LP presidential candidate has alleged.
Peter Obi Grassroots Mobilisation 2023 Movement (POGMM) alleged on its Twitter handle at the weekend that Salako, who was elected in July, is working against Obi to ensure the success of Tinubu in the state.
“Labour Party Chairman in Lagos Kayode Salako is working for Tinubu. We must root him out of the party,” POGMM said.
Salako is the husband of Nollywood actress Foluke Daramola.
He has previously stated his utmost goal for running the LP in Lagos is to win elections, saying, “If I can’t win elections, then it is not worth it.”
He made the point at a meeting with representatives of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) and other political organisations in Lagos
“If a political party is existing, but can’t win elections, it won’t only be called an unserious party. My mission as the new chairman of the LP in Lagos is to coordinate the party to win elections.
“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.”
