March 30, (THEWILL) – Former Chairman of the Labour Party (LP) in Lagos State, Kayode Salako and six others, are to appear before the disciplinary committee of the party in the state on Friday, over allegations of anti-party activities.
Others are Moshood Salvador, Sunbo Onitiri, Olumide Adesoyin, Opeyemi Taiwo, Mutiu Kunle Okunola, and Theodore Ezeunara.
A letter of invitation dated March 28, 2023, which was signed by the Chairman Disciplinary Committee, P.J.A Igene and the Secretary, Olubunmi Adesanya, said the seven LP members are currently under investigation.
“You are hereby invited to appear before Lagos State Labour Party Disciplinary Committee to clarify the said allegations…” part of the letter read.
Salako, who led the party in the state for six months, had resigned his position to contest the LP House of Representatives election for Oshodi-Isolo Federal Constituency 1.
In a post via his official Facebook page on Sunday, Salako criticised the governorship candidate of the party, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, and accused him of ignoring elders in the build-up to the March 18 gubernatorial election in Lagos.
However, Onitiri, who contested the Lagos Central senatorial seat under the LP, reportedly defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) few days to the the Governorship and State Houses of Assembly elections, and endorsed the re-election bid of the state Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
