Former NBA chair, Olumide Akpata attends LP Ward meeting in Edo

Barrister Olumide Akpata, former chairman of the Nigeria Bar Association on Sunday, attended the Ward meeting of the Labour Party of Nigeria.

Yesterday, it was reported in some section of the media that Akpata has joined the Labour Party but the legal expert while making clarifications on the development, said he joined LP in March.

Akpata said he only attended his first meeting on Sunday at Oredo Ward 6, Benin-City where he was formally introduced to members of the Ward and presented a party membership card.

He said, “Quite a number of people have called/messaged me to confirm the news, currently making the rounds, that I have joined a political party. Yes…I joined the Labour Party (LP) in March this year and on Sunday I attended  my first Ward Meeting at Oredo Ward 6, in Benin-City, where I was formally introduced to members of the Ward and presented with my Party membership card. This was a major step for me and not one that I took lightly…but I simply got tired of complaining about Nigeria every day and bemoaning her fate and I decided to take the plunge and to try to be part of the solution rather than agonising continually over the problem. This, for me, is the start of a very important journey and it is my prayer that I arrive safely at my destination.
