The Labour Party (LP) in Lagos State, on Thursday, received Mr Ebaye Ntan, a 2019 Presidential aspirant of the National Conscience Party (NCP), into its fold.
The Lagos State Chairman of LP, Prince Ifagbemi Awamaridi, who received Ntan with his followers at the Party’s meeting in Lagos, said that only the LP could rescue the country and the State from the present challenges.
Awamaridi, who noted that the LP would be among the few political parties on the ballot in the 2023 general elections, said that the party would conduct valid primaries to select its flag-bearers.
“Our comrade from the National Conscience Party (NCP), Comrade Ebaye Ntan, was the presidential aspirant for NCP in 2019, contested with Dr Yinusa Tanko, the Chairman of NCP, and lost by a very slim margin.
“He is now coming with all his people to join the Labour Party. He is joining the Labour Party officially at Eti-Osa Local Government.
“We congratulate you and welcome you into the Labour Party,” Awamaridi said.
