Peter Obi, the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party (LP),Saturday appealed to the supporters of the party in Edo to vote all its candidates in the March 18 state house of assemblies and governorship elections in the state.
He made the appeal when he visited the state to thank his supporters for voting him in the last presidential election and campaigned for the party’s candidates for the March 18 state house of assembly election in Edo .
Commending Edo people for their support, Obi said they have started very well and they must complete what they have started by coming out massively to vote for the candidates of labour party on March 18, 2023.
Nigerians,he said,have begun a new movement, a movement which no one can stop,adding that the country must not be allowed to remain the way it is rather there must be a paradigm shift for a better and a prosperous Nigeria.
“We have begun the journey of a new Nigeria and nobody will stop it. We will not allow Nigeria to remain the way it is. We will continue to vote for labour party”, Obi said.
He implored candidates who emerged victorious in the recent National Assembly elections and the coming election,to do things differently, adding that the party plans to organize a retreat for them.
“We are going to have a retreat with our candidates to make sure that people who are elected under our party do things differently”, Obi said.
Speaking,the National Chairman of the party, Julius Abure, said the candidates of the party for the house of assembly election have not stepped down for anybody and are not sponsored by any other parties or candidates rather, they are labour party’s candidates.
He said those spreading the rumours are doing so because they have lost touch with the people of the state as they have been rejected by the people of the state.
Abure said because the people of the state have rejected their parties, they are looking for how they could attach themselves to Labour Party to win the election.
