2023 General Election: LP Candidates In South West Still In The Race-Oyo LP Guber Candidate
Oyo state Labour Party gubernatorial candidate, Alhaji Taofeeq Akinwale, has denied media reports claiming that the party’s candidates in the South West had ahead of the 2023 General Election not only forfeited their political aspirations but had also endorsed the APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu for president.
Alhaji Akinwale in an interview with Team@orientactualmags.com on Tuesday said there was no reason for the party to form a coalition with the APC noting that the LP candidates are still in the race.
‘ The news came to all the stakeholders in the state LP as a rude shock however anyone who knows the history of APC will also not be surprised because when the party started, it made propaganda its main feature and unfortunately Nigerians fell for it’ he said.
It will be recalled that some LP members, who were led by Chairman of the party in the Southwest, Banji Omotosho, had claimed during an event held in Akure, the Ondo state capital, that they had collapsed their political structures and defected to the ruling APC, .
Their defection to the APC was said to have been facilitated by the National Chairman of the South West Agenda For Asiwaju Tinubu (SWAGA) 2023, former senator Dayo Adeyeye, and other members of the support group–Team@orientactualmags.com
