KAYODE SALAKO REITERATES STRONG COMMITMENT TO OBI-DIENT MOVEMENT AND LABOUR PARTY, DEBUNKS DEFECTION TALES

Kayode Salako

Following sponsored malicious reports in some sections of the media about the Chairman of Lagos State Labour Party, Mr. Ezekiel Kayode Salako, being a mole of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the APC in the party, Mr. Salako has vehemently debunked the allegation in strong terms, saying that he still remains the Chairman of the Party in the state, a committed supporter of the Obi-dient Movement, and an unapologetic member of the Labour Party in the state.

In a brief chat with the media on Monday, Salako said he had not defected to the APC, or any party for that matter, and has no intention now, or in the near future of leaving the Labour Party. He said the news of his purported defection is baseless, mischievous and the handiwork of his traducers, who are already jittery of the impacts he has made with Lagos State Labour Party setup within a short space of time, and further reechoed it loud and clear that he is unfazed with such uninvestigated, and fictitious reports that only exists in the imaginations of the fabricators.

 

 

 

 

The statement of Salako who just returned from the 2-day National Leaders/Stakeholders Retreat of the party in Abuja reads in parts thus:

“I came back on Friday, September 16 from the Abuja retreat to preside over the meeting of the State Working Committee (SWC) of my party in the state.

 

 

 

 

 

“We were in the meeting for almost 7 hours. We couldn’t finish treating all the issues on the agenda on that day after 8pm in the evening.

We extended the meeting to Saturday, and I still presided over that of Saturday for about another 5 hours.

 

 

 

 

“On Sunday, I went to attend the meeting of the elders/leaders advisory council of the party, which I gave approval to for its running, since I became the chairman of the party in the state.

“On Monday, September 20, 2022, which is this morning, I will be in a meeting with the Lagos State commissioner of police on his invitation.

 

 

After the meeting, I will be accompanying HE. Peter Gregory Obi to a program he is having around Lekki here in Lagos.

“But, the news of my purported defection to APC, has been flying around since the same Friday morning from social media propagandists, enemies of the outstanding progress I am achieving for my party in the state right now.

 

 

 

 

How would I have defected and, at the same time, still be running the Labour Party system in the state.

That is not true, and can never be true.

 

 

 

“Olukayode Salako is a flowing river. When I am operating in a place, I operate committedly, passionately and with all sincerity of purpose there, and don’t ever look back.

“Those who know me, they know me for who I am.” He said.

 

 

 

 

While addressing insinuations of being a mole of Tinubu in some social media quarters, he said “I am not a mole to Tinubu system in the Labour Party, and can never be.

“Bola Tinubu’s APC system anywhere knows.

 

 

 

 

 

They know in their conscience of conscience that I am not a mole, and can never be.

I have left that party, just like many Nigerians, who now find my party very attractive, and have been coming to join the party in droves as well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“As I speak, over 60% of the members of the Labour Party also came in from different political platforms, the same way I came.

“If nobody is accusing anybody else of being a mole to anybody, then Salako too should be spared of all these distractive tendencies.

 

 

 

 

 

“His Excellency, Peter Obi and Dr. Doyin Okupe, his national campaign DG, also recently joined Labour party around the same time I also came. And many others like that.

“I reiterate, I am not a mole to anybody in the Labour Party, and can never be.

 

 

 

 

 

I don’t operate politically with such kind of a shameless, vague and undignifying character.

“God has made me a king in the Lagos Labour Party system already, as the chairman of the party.

 

 

 

 

 

 

What then would I still be looking for in a place, where I voluntary left out of my own volition?!

“What else would I still be looking for in a Tinubu political system, where I operated for 22 years, without finding fulfillment?

 

 

 

“They said I have left Labour Party to go back to APC.

“To leave as a king in Labour Party to go and become what in APC?

 

Never!

That can ever be from Olukayode Salako!

 

 

 

 

“I am a man of dignity and integrity. I am a man of strong character. I am a highly principled man.

I don’t eve operate like that.

 

 

 

 

“My mission as the chairman of Labour Party in Lagos State is to make my party the next ruling party in the state.

How can I possibly be operating with that kind of a mission, and still be working as a mole for Tinubu or APC?

 

 

 

 

Do they ever tally?

“I am not a mole to Tinubu, or any presidential candidate whatsoever in the coming presidential election in Nigeria. It is not in the nature and character of my DNA to operate like that.

 

 

 

 

“I am still the chairman of Labour Party in Lagos State, and I am ever consistently OBI-DIENTLY Labour in the passionate, committed and the most classical way.

“I repeat, my utmost mission is to continue to run Labour Party well, and to do it to win my state for Peter Obi, as well as, for the Labour Party to form the next government in Lagos State.” He concluded emphatically.

Dangote Hails Tinubu on Impact of Crude for Naira Swap Deal

 

 

…As Dangote Refinery partners MRS to sell PMS at N935 per litre nationwide at its retail outlets

 

 

Sahara Weekly Unveils That The Foremost entrepreneur and President of the Dangote Industries Limited, Aliko Dangote has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the positive impact of the naira for crude swap deal on the Nigerian economy, which has led to reduction in prices of petroleum products in the country.

 

Dangote Hails Tinubu on Impact of Crude for Naira Swap Deal

 

To provide succour to Nigerians, Dangote recently reduced the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) from N970 to N899.50 at its Refinery loading gantry and provided generous credit terms to marketers.

 

 

“To ensure that this price reduction gets to the end consumer, we have signed a partnership with MRS to sell petrol from its retail outlets nationwide at N935 per litre” he added. This price has already commenced in Lagos, and it will be offered nationwide from Monday.

 

 

In his statement, he called on other oil marketers such as the NNPC Retail and all other marketers, “to work with us to ensure that Nigerians enjoy high-quality petrol at discounted prices.”

 

 

According to him, “The Dangote Refinery is for the benefit of Nigeria and Nigerians. We will therefore continue to work with various value chain players to deliver high quality petrol at cheaper prices. Our aim is for all Nigerians to have ready access to high quality petroleum products that are good for their vehicles, good for their health, and good for their pockets.

 

 

Recall that in September, the Federal Executive Council (FEC) under the leadership of Mr. President approved the sale of crude to local refineries in Naira and corresponding purchase of petroleum products in Naira. The move, which commenced on October 1, led to reduced pressure on the dollar and ensured the stability of the local currency.

 

 

Dangote thanked Nigerians for their unwavering support and the government for creating an enabling environment for the domestic refining industry.
