LAGOS – The former Lagos State Chairman of the Labour Party (LP), Pastor Dayo Ekong, on Wednesday said her defection to the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) followed the new party’s promising and emerging future.
Ekong, who disclosed this in an interview with newsmen in Lagos, decried the LP’s protracted leadership crises and legal battles since 2023.
Ekong, who noted 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 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”. (NAN)
