On Saturday February 24 the Lagos State Chapter of the
Socialist Party of Nigeria (SPN) held its first meeting since the registration
of the party. In attendance were about 50 members from 10 local government areas
including a sizeable number, who joined after the registration victory. How to
build the SPN as a formidable opposition in Lagos including building the party in
communities in the state was discussed. Comrade Adeola Soetan led the
discussion. Judging from the contributions members are committed and enthusiastic
to playing very active role in building the party as a pro-masses, agitational and
fighting political platform. The party will not just exist for political power but also a platform
for defence and promotion of the rights and interests on the working masses,
youth and the poor in communities and
workplaces.
To walk the talk, the party members at the meeting put their money where their mouth was as a struggle fund of N100, 000, out of which N28,000 has been collected, was raised. There was also a pledge to donate a desktop computer and printer to aid the work of the party. Two members also pledged between them the printing of 7000 copies of SPN flier.
To drive the building and the affairs of the party- in the state in the next three months a 5-person protem executive was elected at the meeting. They are Rufus Olusesan as Chair, Moshood Osunfunrewa Secretary, M K Shoyombo Publicity Secretary, Ronke Adebayo Treasurer and Ayo Ademiluyi Legal Adviser
