The Presidential Candidate of Labour Party in the February 23 Presidential election, Mr Peter Obi has called on party supporters in Abia State to be resolute and not to be discouraged by the outcome of the presidential election.
He urged them to prove manipulators of the presidential election wrong by massively voting for Dr Alex Otti in the Saturday, March 18, for Governor and the state House of Assembly Candidates across the state.
Obi, who made the call during a chat with Journalists at Sam Mbakwe Airport Owerri en route Abuja, assured Obidients that he will reclaim his mandate through a legal process.
According to him, ” I could not campaign much for our Governorship candidates because of the presidential campaign activities and election. For instance, Dr Alex Otti could not host his Mega Rally because of these reasons, so I want Obidients in Abia to rally him round and vote for him” he said.
He enjoined Abia supporters to complete what they had started on February 25 by voting en masse for Labour Party candidates in the March 18 elections, adding that a movement that cannot be stopped had commenced.
He said,” I must urge the Labour Party supporters not to be discouraged by the outcome of the presidential election.
“Nigeria must not be allowed to remain the way it is. There must be a paradigm shift from the present state to a better and prosperous Nigeria.
The former governor of Anambra state said “We have begun the journey of a new Nigeria. The movement is real, and nobody can stop it. We will not allow Nigeria to remain the way it is. We will continue to vote for Labour Party,” Obi said.
He said a retreat would be organised for all the victorious candidates of the Labour Party to teach them what to do in the quest to change the political narratives of the country.
Similarly, the national chairman of the party, Julius Abure, said the candidates for the House of Assembly election in Abia State had not stepped down for anyone and that no Labour Party candidate was being sponsored by any other party.
He appealed to the residents of Abia state to come out en masse to vote for Dr Alex Otti and other candidates of the party to secure victory.
