The Labour Party has unveiled a former Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party and All Progressive Congress, Hon. Moshood Salvador as governorship candidate in Lagos State in the 2023 election.
The former PDP Chairman in the state, Salvador, disclosed that he defected to the APC for the benefit of his people, but since he moved, the ruling party has never been of any benefit to his people.
Speaking on why he dumped the ruling party for Labour, the founder of a political group, the Conscience Forum said, “I moved to the APC from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) because I decided that the main opposition party has never been ready to win elections in Lagos State.
“I had to move to the APC because of my people. APC didn’t allow my people to benefit from anybody so we moved to where my people can be recognized. The APC promised my people 100 jobs at the Lagos State Traffic Management Agency (LASTMA), Lagos Waste Management Agency (LAWMA) and Neighbourhood Watch.
“They also promised to give us Commissioner and Special Adviser positions and none were respected. They also sidelined my people from the ward, local government and state meetings,”
