BENIN CITY – THE chances of victory for the Labour Party in Edo State and its candidate, Olumide Akpata received a boost as the United Kingdom Branch of the party and some former governorship aspirants in the party yesterday adopted Akpata and called on the people of Edo state to vote for him and the LP as that is the sure way to prosperity for the state.
Addressing a virtual press conference, the Chairman of the LP both in Diaspora and the UK, Prince Egbe Omorodion said Akpata would be the “Obi” of Edo State as he commands following from everywhere and that as governor he would replicate what Obi did as governor of Anambra State and what Governor Alex Oti of Abia State, the only LP governor in Nigeria is currently doing in that state.
According to him, “Tinubu’s threat of returning Edo to the APC in a trending video should be allowed and Edo people should also allow Obaseki to enthrone his preferred candidate because he and his predecessor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole want to remain as bosses. The same thing we supported Obaseki to fight against is what he wants to bring back.
