The Labour Party Chairman in Lagos State, Kayode Salako has reportedly defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

This was revealed in a tweet on Saturday by a support group of Labour Party.

Another group identified as Peter Obi Grassroots Mobilization 2023 Movement accused Kayode Salako of working against the party in the state.

The group alleged that Salako is working for the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC in Lagos State.

It said Salako must be rooted out of Labour Party.

“Labour Party Chairman in Lagos Kayode Salako is working for Tinubu. We must root him out of the party,” the group said.

Recall that Lagos Chapter of the Labour Party elected Salako, husband of Nollywood actress, Foluke Daramola, as the new party chairman in the state in July 2022.
