The Lagos State chapter of Accord Party (AP) on Tuesday declared that the party has opted out from its alliance with Labour Party (LP).
The Accord Party, Lagos State Chairman, Dele Olajide disclosed this at a press conference, to announce the party’s endorsement of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s re-election bid and all the candidates of the All Progressive Congress (APC) for March 18, poll.
Stating why AP opted out from its alliance with LP, the party chairman in Lagos State, Olajide said the party opted out from the alliance due to the way his members were treated by LP members and supporters after the February 25, presidential poll which Peter Obi, their presidential candidate of LP won in Lagos State.
He said Peter Obi’s victory in Lagos State, was a collective effort of all tribes in the state and not a solo effort of a tribe as claimed in some quarters.
Olajide said his party formed alliance with LP because they believed in Obi’s capacity, capability and integrity and all his party members worked assiduously for the victory of Obi in the state but LP members and supporters discredit their contribution on how Obi emerged victorious in Lagos.
He said no monetary reward or condition was given to LP before the AP members in the state decided to work for Obi against the wishes of their fellow tribesmen who described them as saboteurs.
On the forthcoming governorship poll Oladeji pointed out that the performance of Governor Sanwo-Olu’s administration informed their decision to support his re-election.
