With just 48 hours to the Lagos State governorship election, the state chapter of Labour Party has been hit by a fresh crisis after one of the chieftains, Ifagbemi Awamaridi, claimed he was the party’s authentic governorship candidate in the state.
Awamaridi, who addressed journalists at a press briefing in Lagos, said he was elected the LP candidate at the party’s governorship primary held in July last year.
The party’s recognised candidate, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has been endorsed by some groups and individuals ahead of Saturday’s election in the state.
