“Why I Joined Labour Party”- Ex NBA President, Olumide Akpata
“I was formally introduced to members of the Ward”
Immediate past President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Olumde Akpata has confirmed joining the Labour Party.
“Yes…I joined the @labourparty_ng 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.” he disclosed today, August 1, 2023.
He also provided reasons for the step he describes as “a very important journey” with the declaration that “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.”
He also provided pictures from his Sunday’s engagement with his new political party.
The former President of the body of the nation’s lawyers made the revelation in a post that reads in full….
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 @labourparty_ng 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.
