“Kayode Salako, who was the Lagos State party chairman of the Labour Party for six months, withdrew in January 2023 to run for the Oshodi Isolo Constituency 1 in the House of Representatives.
She wrote: “Take your time. Don’t insult me on my page, and I say a big amen to your prayers. God will reward me according to the work of my hands. I know Gbadebo very well. My husband gave him that ticket, and what did he do next? He removed my husband and the Labour Party chairman because he’s not Ibo, and all the Yoruba house of the assembly, he took their tickets to put Igbo there, and you dare come to my page to insult me? Please, let’s be guided.”
