The Imo State chapter of the Labour Party has urged the state governor, Hope Uzodimma, to give room for a violence-free campaign season ahead of the state governorship election holding on November 11.
“In keeping with our belief and our faith and trust in God Almighty, we will start our campaigns with prayer sessions in the various churches across Imo State.
“These prayer sessions would not only be for smooth and violence-free campaigns and elections but for the repose of the souls of the victims of violence in our dear state including civilians and security agents. “We will also include in our prayer sessions the Labour Party presidential candidate petition at the election petition tribunal, for God to in His infinite mercies direct our judges to uphold justice and do what is right before our laws and God.
“We are very appreciative of the support of our people Imoliites for Senator Athan Achonu and the Labour Party. We solemnly promise our long-suffering and traumatised people that relief is on the way. Relief from this seemingly unending insecurity, fraudulent elections and the creeping economic meltdown and the decay of the basic infrastructure.”All rights reserved.
