Ahead of the November 11 Gubernatorial election in Imo State, the Labour Party (LP) candidate, Senator Athan Nneji Achonu has called on the people to support his candidature. He made the call while reacting to the supreme court verdict confirming his candidacy of the Labour Party and the leadership of the party led by Julius Abure, in Abuja.
“I won a free and fair primary contest. I’ve been concentrating on my campaign. I want to make it clear to the Imo people that I am the candidate of the Labour Party”. “I am making this call to the Imo people to come out and take back their state”. “It is a simple matter that people can just call INEC and confirm the authentic person that is the candidate. Some people went to the Federal High Court, their case was thrown out.
They went for an appeal and the same thing happened. They went to the Supreme Court and the case has finally been thrown out. Their cases have all been dismissed. They are seeking to confuse Imo people” he stated. “I am going to run a government of the people by the people and for the people,” if i emerge the Governor of Imo State” Senator Achonu added.
He called on the Imo people to take a step further in collecting their voter cards and participate fully in the November 11 election in the state. “With this, I want to call on the people of Imo State to remove all doubt and work for our success. With this judgement by the highest court in Nigeria, the Lamidi Apapa’s plot to hijack the affairs of the Labour Party including the powers to nominate candidates has finally come to an end.
