FROM RAHILA ABDULLAHI, KADUNA
Labour Party, LP, in Chikun and Kajuru Local Government Areas of Kaduna State have collapsed their structures into the Young Progressives Party, YPP.
The event, which took place in Chikun Local Government Area on Sunday, witnessed over 500 executive members of the party from the ward to the local government level who resigned their membership from Labour Party.
Receiving the decampees into YPP, the National Organising Secretary of the party, Williams Moses and the State Chairman, Mikailu Abubakar, lauded the decision of the leadership of Labour Party in the two local government areas, describing it as a moment for genuine renewed hope, not only for the people of Chikun and Kajuru, but for the entire state.
In his remarks, Moses explained that the decision of the decampees was driven by a genuine desire to serve their people more effectively, through a credible platform, the YPP.
The national officer enjoined the people of Kaduna State to take YPP as their chosen party, adding that it is a credible alternative capable of leading Nigerians to the promised land; the land of unity, service to the people and accountability.
Speaking on behalf of the decampees, the Labour Party Chairman in Chikun, Yerima Ahmed disclosed that Chikun is the ‘Centre of Politics’ in Kaduna State, hence the need to join a party that believes in the unity of Nigerians and is equally ready to be accountable to the people.
“The decision to resign our membership from Labour Party was a personal one, and not because of any disagreement or crisis,” he said.
He explained that YPP reflects a sincere commitment to equity, unity and progress, which is the reason why all the executive members of Labour Party in Chikun and Kajuru share a firm conviction to align with YPP’s vision.
