APC, PDP ‘ve failed Nigerians, says Labour Party

The Zonal Chairman of Labour Party (LP), Lamidi Apapa, has said the party is prepared to put the country back on sound footing. He said the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have not met the expectations of the people.

Apapa who spoke during a visit to Lagos chapter said Nigeria would get out of its multifaceted challenges if LP was trusted with power in 2019. He noted LP welfare philosophy puts the party in vantage position to initiate popular programmes.

Apapa explained that the PDP and APC are the same folk, stressing that former members of PDP formed the bulk of APC membership.

He said: “That is why the party has not been able to provide the people with the dividend of democracy. Nigerians are losing hope and confidence in the APC led government on daily basis.  “The Nigerian masses are the owners of LP; they should come out to identify with the party. LP is prepared to carry out reforms that will make the country better. I believe that LP can make the country better because the PDP and APC are no longer popular parties.”

Apapa said the last alliance between the LP and the PDP during the last council election was unfortunate, noting that the party had learnt its lessons.

He urged the National Secretariat of the party to make funds available, in order to prepare the ground for the takeover of the Lagos State Government House, Alausa.

He added: “It is on records that the state chapter of the party has not received any amount of money from the national, zonal or other quarters for the running cost. What the Lagos office has achieved so far was through individual contribution.

“Lagos is mini Nigeria and therefore desire special status. This state is where everything happens politically and otherwise. If our great party is active in Lagos, it is therefore active in Nigeria.”

“If all Lagos secretariat is given the attention it deserved, we will mobilise the people and we are very sure they will support us take over the governance of this Centre of Excellence,” he said.
