The Lagos Publicity Secretary of the All Progressive Congress (APC) Hon. Seye Oladejo has described the arm of the Labour Party in Lagos as enemies of the state.
The ruling party’s spokesman noted that most of the people championing LP in the state were at the forefront of the EndSARS protest in the state, and for that reason are seen as enemies of Lagos who do not want anything good for the state.
“I think they would be in the best position to explain that. But then, you would recall that most of the people who champion Labour Party in the state are also people who were at the forefront of the EndSARS protest that almost got our state down on its knees with attendant wanton destruction of monumental assets of the state.
“We just see them as enemies of state who wouldn’t want anything good for our state. It might just be convenient to start pointing accusing finger,” Oladejo said.
The party also explained that it is too busy to be distracted by “petty” and “childish” politics of the Labour Party (LP) in the state.
There are insinuations in the camp of LP in the state that APC, particularly APC Lagos, has a hand in the current leadership crisis rocking the party at the national level.
LP was thrown into leadership crisis following an interim order issued by a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in April, restraining Julius Abure from parading himself as the National Chairman of the party pending the determination of the substantive suit brought against him and three others.
Justice Hamza Muazu gave the order while delivering ruling in an exparte application brought by some aggrieved members of the party.
Subsequently, Lamidi Apapa on April 6, declared himself as the National Chairman of the party.
Apapa and those who follow him are seen by majority of LP members as moles planted by the ruling APC to scuttle LP’s petition at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.
Oladejo admonished LP to put its house in order, adding that it was too early for the party to start having leadership crisis.
