The leadership of Labour Party (LP) has emphasised that the National movement led by Peter Obi, its presidential candidate would end of an era of impunity, greedy, selfish politicians and usher in transparent and participatory leadership.
This was just as the party eulogised supporters who turned out enmass for the party’s rally held on November 11, 2022 in Edo State, amidst the show of solidarity to its Presidential candidate.
The party said the show of support and huge turn out was without financial inducement, “but a show of the People’s commitment to ensure there is a rebirth of a New Nigeria.”
National chairman of LP, Barr. Julius Abure, disclosed this at a dinner organised for the party’s Local Government Area (LGA), wards and units Chairmen, Secretaries and support group Coordinators in Edo State.
Abure who noted that there is much work to be done, urged ‘Obidients’ to translate the huge support for the party to vote at the 2023 general elections.
He described the State Government action to deny LP access to public space as undemocratic, adding that “the government benefited from a system that allowed the people support it in the last governorship election”.
According to him, “Edo State government ensured they blocked the use of Ogbe Stadium, Uniben Sport arena, UBTH Ground and host of others, but was unable to block the Baptist ground which was eventually used by the party to flag out its presidential rally in Edo State”.
He called on the people to double their efforts and ensure that Edo State will deliver 100 percent votes to Peter Obi at the February 2023 poll.
On his part, the State Chairman of LP, Comrade Kelly Ogbaloi, also thanked the various support groups for making the party proud during the Party Presidential rally which held across the three Senatorial Districts in Edo State.
He charged supporters and party leaders to continue to convince others who are yet to know that Peter Obi is the way out of the present predicament in Nigeria.
