Why I left Labour Party for NDC — Former Lagos Chair, Ekong
The former Lagos State Chairman of the Labour Party, LP, Pastor Dayo Ekong, on Wednesday, said her defection to the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC, was due to the new party’s promising and emerging future.
Ekong, who disclosed this in Lagos, decried the LP’s protracted leadership crises and legal battles since 2023.
Noting that she currently serves as the Southwest Vice Chairman of the NDC, said activities were in top gear to organise hitch-free congresses in the zone.
“I have moved on and gone to NDC, in fact, I am currently the National Vice Chairman of the party for the whole of Southwest,” she said.
Ekong said she decided to dump the LP to protect her political future.
“I am a politician and I have political aspirations. The way political parties are beset by all sorts of problems and leadership crisis is sickening.
One just has to find a way to achieve goals at the end of the day.So, I have to move forward.”
On the chances of NDC in the zone, Ekong said, “We all know that NDC is making waves everywhere now. It is a new political party and the hope of the future”.
