Olalekan Anjolaiya dumps PDP for LP.
Hon. Olalekan Anjolaiya, a former Lagos State House of Assembly aspirant for Alimosho Constituency II, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
In a statement on Wednesday, Anjolaiya confirmed his membership of the Labour Party and cited what he described as the PDP’s “dwindling ideological integrity” as the reason for his decision.
He also accused the main opposition party of having “structural weaknesses, and a concerning closeness” to the All Progressives Congress, APC-led administration.
Anjolaiya had served as a member of the PDP Local Government Executive in the constituency, where he played a key role in the party’s rebranding agenda.
He, however, said the party had lost its ideological focus in recent times, abandoning its role as a credible opposition to become, in his words, a mere appendage of the ruling APC.
“The PDP no longer functions as a credible opposition. It has lost its ideological focus, its moral compass, and its voice. Today, it operates more like an appendage of the APC than a people-centred alternative.
“As a proud Awori son of Igando, Alimosho, I believe the days of political intimidation and tribal politics in Lagos are over. The people are ready for a new era of issue-based, inclusive, and people-oriented governance,” Anjolaiya stated.
