The granddaughter of the late Nigerian leader, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Pastor Funke Awolowo, has officially 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.
Pastor Funke cited recent developments within the party in her resignation letter as reason for leaving the Labour Party.
The letter, which was addressed to Dayo Ekong, Lagos State Chairman of the party, said the integrity of the committee was being compromised, adding that the situation had damaged her reputation.
“I am writing to formally resign my position as a member of the Lagos State Executive Committee, effective immediately.
“This decision comes after deep reflection and considerable personal introspection. Recent developments have made it increasingly difficult for me to continue in this role in good conscience.
“I have observed with growing concern that the integrity of the committee is being compromised and, regrettably, is being leveraged for purposes that conflict with the values and principles I hold dear.
“More troubling is the damage this has done to my personal reputation, as my name has been unfairly associated with actions and motives that I neither support nor condone,” the letter reads.
She said that despite stepping away from her role, her commitment to public service and the political process remains steadfast.
