…Says he is fully backing party

Ahead of the 2027 general election, the camp of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State received a boost as Tobiloke Shodipe-Dosunmu, the Labour Party (LP) candidate for the Federal House of Representatives for Lagos Island 1 in the 2023 polls formally joined the party.

He said his decision to join APC was based on the strong organisational structure of the party and the many institutional reforms of President Bola President, which according to him is reassuring.

The politician stated the decision was also taken in line with pressure from his supporters and constituency who wanted him to join the progressives and be a part of the revolution in Lagos Island.

“My people on the Island who stood by me had pleaded for me to join the progressives and be a part of the revolution in Lagos Island and that’s what informed my decision,” he said.

Speaking further, he pointed out that he decided to dump the LP because of the lacklustre leadership style of the party coupled with the crisis between the two factions.

According to him, no serious politician will waste his time in LP as the leadership tussle has exposed the incapacity of its leaders.

“I’m very confident that my interest and that of my supporters will be taken care of. The party has already shown a sense of camaraderie by integrating me and few of my supporters into the state party operations,” he added.
