A support group under the auspices of Peter Obi Grassroots Mobilisation 2023 Movement, has accused the factional chairman of the Labour Party in Lagos, Kayode Salako, of working against the party in the State.
The Obi support group made the allegation in a statement via its Twitter handle on Saturday.
The group alleged that Salako is working for the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC in Lagos.

It said Salako must be rooted out of Labour Party.
“Labour Party Chairman in Lagos Kayode Salako is working for Tinubu. We must root him out of the party,” the group said.
Recall that the Lagos Chapter of the Labour Party elected Salako, husband of Nollywood actress, Foluke Daramola, as the new party chairman in the state in July 2022.
A copy of the letter confirming his appointment was sent to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), ahead of the 2023 general elections.
Meanwhile, Salako has said his utmost goal for running the Labour Party in Lagos, is to win elections. “If I can’t win elections, then it is not worth it,” he said.
Salako, during a meeting with representatives of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC), and other political organisations in Lagos, disclosed that the essence of running a political party is to win elections.
