A member of House of Representatives, Opeyemi Bamidele,
has said the Labour Party would survive the defection of
Ondo Governor, Olusegun Mimiko.
The LP candidate in the June 21 Ekiti governorship election
said the successful conduct of the party’s national
convention on Saturday, was a signal to this.
The Federal Lawmaker, representing Ekiti Central
Constituency 2, comprising Ado and Irepodun/Ifelodun
Local Governments, also commiserated with the Afenifere
leader, Senator Ayo Fasanmi, over the death of his wife,
Mrs. Felicia Fasanmi, who died last week.
In a statement in Ado Ekiti on Sunday by his Media Aide,
Ahmed Salami, Bamidele said the LP was strong enough to
withstand challenges.
He said, “LP is a party that is ready to give every Nigerian
the alternative platform to contest for any elective position.
We believe that no challenge is worth the death of any
party, except when those within are not committed.
“But, as leaders, we have to sacrifice our conveniences and
comforts to ensure that no Nigerian is deprived of his
fundamental rights.
“We are proud to say that the LP in Nigeria remains solid
and maintains unwavering commitment to the
development of our democracy.
“No ambition of individual worth the death of any party,
particularly the LP because it is ideologically-based,”
Bamidele said.
The lawmaker urged the Afenifere leader to take solace in
the fact that his wife had impacted positively on the lives of
the people and had engraved her name in the positive side
of history as a woman, who fought for the dignity of our
nation and womanhood.
