Funke Awolowo Resigns From Labour Party’s Executive Committee by TimeManager(op): 10:05am On May 10, 2025
A granddaughter of the late Obafemi Awolowo, Funke Awolowo, has resigned her membership of the Labour Party Executive Committee in Lagos State.

Awolowo was, until her resignation, the party’s Head of the Mobilisation and Integration Team in Lagos.


Her resignation was contained in a statement in which she said recent developments within the party had made it increasingly difficult for her to continue her membership on the committee.

The statement, which she signed and addressed to Dayo Ekong, Lagos State Chairman of the party, said the integrity of the committee was being compromised, adding that the situation had damaged her reputation.

“I am writing to formally resign my position as a member of the Lagos State Executive Committee, effective immediately.

“This decision comes after deep reflection and considerable personal introspection. Recent developments have made it increasingly difficult for me to continue in this role in good conscience.


“I have observed with growing concern that the integrity of the committee is being compromised and, regrettably, is being leveraged for purposes that conflict with the values and principles I hold dear.

“More troubling is the damage this has done to my personal reputation, as my name has been unfairly associated with actions and motives that I neither support nor condone,” the statement read.


She said that despite stepping away from her role, her commitment to public service and the political process remains steadfast.

I'm still repeating it, the kind of beating the fraud from Agulu will receive in 2027, he will be beaten as if he had offended Amadioha or collected the wife of Sango. That nonsense campaign against muslim-muslim ticket that was used to manipulate the sentiments of the people which generated uproar in Lagos and everywhere in the last election, is dead right now. Ōbi must contest.. must!

From the look of things as at today, it may not be wise for him to contest. The situation may change tomorrow though

If everyone keeps jumping ship to the ruling party, are we still running a democracy or just dressing up autocracy?
The next election won’t just be interesting, it’ll test whether we still have real political choice in this country.

The problem with Obidients is that you are stuck in primitive mindsets. When some APC bigwigs were decamping from APC in 2023 and joining the opposition, he didn't have the money to buy them then, right?. But una no talk sat Atiku and Obi dey buy them. Na now when people dey leave LP and PDP una dey do chochocho.

That moment they wanted to use coalition to sweet the man off his feet but instead he travelled to France and came back and as God may have it, the whole story changed grin grin

Y’all know the remaining story right? hehe 😜

Now, y’all are shouting one party system- so you expected him to fold his arms and let you guys give him Jonathan treatment ? Lol y’all must be joking hehe grin grin

Tinubu is building more bridges while Obi is collapsing the few ones at his disposal. Pretty soon after loosing again, he will open his loose mouth shouting he was rigged out.
