The Labour Party (LP) in Chikun and Kajuru Local Government Areas of Kaduna State, has collapsed their structures into the Young Progressives Party (YPP) in the state.
The event which took place in Chikun Local Government Area on Sunday witnessed over 500 executive members of the party from the ward to the Local Government level resigning their membership from the Labour Party.
Receiving the decampees into the YPP, the National Organising Secretary of the party, Hon. Williams Moses, and the state Chairman of the party, Mall. Mikailu Abubakar, applauded the decision of the leadership of Labour Party in the two LGAs, describing it as a moment for genuine renewed hope, not only for the people of Chikun and Kajuru, but for the entire state.
In his remarks, Moses further explained that the decision of the decampees was driven by a genuine desire to serve their people more effectively, through a credible platform, the YPP.

The national officer enjoined the good people of Kaduna State to take YPP as their choice party, adding that YPP is a credible alternative that is capable of leading Nigerians to the promised land; the land of unity, service to the people and accountability.
Speaking on behalf of the decampees, the Labour Party Chairman in Chikun, Hon. Yerima Ahmed, disclosed that Chikun is the ‘centre of politics’ in Kaduna State, hence the need to join a party that believes in the unity of Nigerians, and that is equally ready to be accountable to the people.
Ahmed said: “Our decision to resign our membership from Labour Party was a personal decision, and not because of any disagreement or crisis, but because YPP is a new life for both the old and the young.”
He further explained that the YPP reflects a sincere commitment to equity, unity, and progress, being the reason why all the executive members of the LP in Chikun and Kajuru share a firm conviction to align with the YPP’s vision.
