‘Labour Party will miss Salam’

Former National Secretary of Labour Party (LP) Dr. Kayode Ajulo has lamented the demise of its national chairman, Alhaji Abdulkadir Salam, Baraden Paiko,

He said in a statement in Abuja that the party leader was an embodiment of hardwork and courage.

Ajulo said: “As a former National Secretary of the Labour Party, elected on the same day with Alh. Salam as National Chairman. I share in the deep sense of loss that this news evokes.

“The pain we all feel is deep and raw; I can only hope that time will ease the pain that the loss of yet another stalwart and citizen of our dear country as this year draws to a close.

“Comrade A A Salam was a leader who stood by his dogma dearly and worked assiduously for entrenchment of what assures peace and prosperity.

“He was a brother-in-arms and even though we had ideological differences while I was the National Secretary of the Labour Party, I will remember Comrade Abdulsalam as a courageous person who always stood up for his own convictions.”
