The Publicity Secretary of the Labour Party in Ekiti, Bolanle Olatunde-Bruce has resigned her appointment.

“May I use this opportunity to thank the entire leadership and members of the Labour Party at both the national and state levels for their support and encouragement these past thirteen months.
