Olumide Akpata Joins the Labour Party: A New Hope for Nigeria

Olumide Akpata, the immediate past president of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), has officially confirmed his membership with the Labour Party (LP), shaking up the political landscape in Nigeria. Akpata took to his official Twitter page to make this announcement, expressing his weariness of constantly complaining about the state of the nation.

According to Premium Times, Akpata said, "I simply got tired of complaining about Nigeria every day and bemoaning her fate." This decision marks the beginning of what he sees as a vital journey towards bringing about positive change in the country.

With his affiliation to the Labour Party, Akpata's move is expected to bolster the party's efforts to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and contribute to the democratic process in Nigeria. The alliance between Akpata and the LP also supports Peter Obi's aspirations to make a significant impact on Nigerian politics.

Upon attending his first Ward Meeting at Oredo Ward 6, in Benin-City, Akpata received a warm welcome from LP members and was presented with his party membership card. This move has sparked enthusiasm among Twitter users who believe that Akpata's involvement will help lead Nigeria towards a brighter future.

One user writes, "Kudos! You have indeed taken the right step. That is the only way our beloved country can be rescued from the crookedness of the political class. Clear persons like yourself are needed!" Another adds, "Yes pls! We need more people like you in LP for the people. May the will of the people be with you as you fight their course selflessly."

Meanwhile, in a separate development, Tawfiq Akinwale, the Labour Party candidate for governorship in Oyo state during the last election, has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC). Akinwale cited the lack of focus within the LP as the reason for his decision to join the APC.

In a statement released on Sunday, Akinwale expressed his belief in the APC and stated that he wants to align himself with a more focused political party.

Olumide Akpata's decision to join the Labour Party brings a renewed sense of hope to Nigeria's political landscape. With his experience and determination, he has already garnered support and enthusiasm from the people. Many see this as a step forward in the efforts to challenge the status quo and contribute meaningfully to the development of Nigeria.
