Embattled Labour Party, LP, in Kaduna State has collapsed its structures into the little known Young Progressives Party, YPP.
This happened in Chikun and Kajuru Local Government Areas of Kaduna State.
The collapse which took place in Chikun Local Government Area, involved several LP Executives from Ward to Local Government levels who resigned their membership to formally join the YPP.
Receiving the defectors, the National Organising Secretary of YPP, Williams Moses, alongside the State Chairman, Mikailu Abubakar, described the development as a significant step towards building a credible political alternative in Kaduna State.
Moses stated that the decision of the former LP members was motivated by their commitment to better serve their communities through a platform that promotes accountability, unity, and people-oriented governance.
He urged the residents of the State to see the YPP as a credible vehicle for change and national renewal.
Yerima Ahmed, former LP Chairman in Chikun Local Government who spoke on behalf of the defectors said their defection was voluntary and based on shared values rather than internal crisis.
He said: “Chikun is the centre of politics in Kaduna State.
“Our move to YPP represents a new beginning for both the old and the young.
“We believe in a party that upholds equity, unity, and progress”.
Ahmed added that the YPP’s ideology aligned with their vision for a more inclusive and accountable political future for Kaduna State and Nigeria as a whole.
