The presidential candidate of the Labour Party during the February 25 polls, Peter Obi, will on Tuesday storm the Kanu Nwankwo Sports Stadium
Describing Obi as a transformational leader, Achonu who was in the Senate in 2015, said the former Anambra governor inspired him to join the LP.
He said his candidacy coupled with the LP’s unwavering acceptance in the state had already positioned the party as a beautiful bride. He said that his campaign mantra which is achored on Akuruoulo, which means bringing investments home, would drastically deal with issues of insecurity, food insufficiency while promoting agriculture, education, investments, health, tourism , human capacity development, infrastructural development and housing projects.
Achonu said he had the people’s acceptance to defeat the state governor, Hope Uzodimma, urging the people to come out en masse to welcome Obi. The governorship hopeful said, “His Excellency, Mr Peter Obi, the governor of Abia State, our national chairman and other national officers of our party will be with us as we flag off our campaign for the November 11 governorship election in Imo State. Labour Party of course is the party to beat. We are prepared and we have the support of the people and it is our hope that we will sack the APC from the government House.”All rights reserved.
