Bunmi Adesanya, spokesperson for the Labour Party has said that the rumoured defection of Mr. Olukayode Salako, the Lagos State Labour Party Chairman, is a ruse.
Some online media had reported on Sunday that the Lagos state LP chairman had defected to another party.
Reacting, Adesanya told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday that Mr. Salako had not joined another party.
“We are surprised to see this news on Thursday. It is fake, it is not true at all. Our chairman is on ground and he is fully “Obidient”, (a word popularly being used for supporters of Mr. Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the LP), Adesanya said.
Recollect that sometime ago controversy had continued to trail the LP governorship primaries, leadership and candidate in Lagos state.
