The granddaughter of the late Nigerian statesman Obafemi Awolowo, Pastor Funke Awolowo, has resigned her membership of the Labour Party Executive Committee in Lagos State.
Until her resignation, she served as the Head of the Mobilisation and Integration Team for the party in the state.
In a statement addressed to Dayo Ekong, the Lagos State Chairman of the Labour Party, Awolowo cited integrity concerns and reputational damage as key reasons for her departure. She stated that recent developments within the party made it increasingly difficult to continue in her role in good conscience.
