The National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP), Alhaji Abdulkadir Abdulsalam, is reportedly dead.

The Deputy National Secretary of the party, Kennedy Chigozie, who confirmed the demise of the Chairman, said he died in the early hours of Tuesday, December 29, 2020.

He said, “I’ve lost a friend of several decades. He was not sick, he even joined the early morning prayers this morning. This is a great loss not only to opposition political parties but to Nigerian democracy as a whole. His progressive ideas will be surely missed.”
