Otti To Ensure LP Wins Edo Guber Election

By Georgina Humphrey

Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti has vowed to work with the leadership of Labour Party to ensure victory at the coming governorship election in Edo state

Governor Otti made his position known during a courtesy visit to the Party’s National Secretariat in Abuja.

He attributed his success in the last seven months as Abia state governor to hard work, dedication and love for the people.

“I want to thank you for holding the party for us, fighting on the side of the Party and protecting what we know today as the Labour Party” he stated.

“We thank God that today we have a governor but I can assure you that position will change soon with the coming elections in Edo and Ondo states.”

“The reality is that the law as it is today recognises only the political parties and not individuals. When you take away the party, the individual collapses, even if it is the president. That is why it is critical that we hold on to the platform upon which we were elected”.

“I also want to thank you for the support you have been giving to our representatives in the national and state assemblies and my self also who happens to be the only elected governor under Labour Party.

On his part, National Chairman of the party, Julius Abure while welcoming the governor extolled his great performance since assumption of office particularly the transformation of the capital and commercial cities of Umuahia and Aba respectively.

“Your Excellency, what you have brought to governance in just a little above six months in Abia state is undescribable. What your predecessors could not achieve in several years in office, you have achieved”.

“Abia people will be eternally grateful to Labour Party for giving them this precious gift as a leader. We can only hope that people will begin to see from the transformation going on in Abia that Labour Party is the only party that has the interest of the people at heart.” Abure added.

He also assured the governor that the party is being repositioned to be the best political party in Nigeria with high electoral potential, which has since assumed its rightful position as a foremost opposition party in Nigeria.

He assured the governor that the party will field the best and winnable candidate in the coming off season elections in Edo and Ondo states with the capacity to achieve victory for the party.

Meanwhile the National Publicity Secretary of the Labour Party, Obiora Ifoh has commended the Abia State governor for the quality of appointees he chose as Mayors/Chairmen of Local Government Council.
