The presidential candidate of the Labour Party during the February 25 polls, Peter Obi, will on Tuesday storm the Kanu Nwankwo Sports Stadium in Owerri, the Imo State capital, for the flag-off of the party’s campaigns for the November 11 governorship election in the state.
The Abia State governor, Alex Otti, the national chairman of the party, Julius Abure, and other national officers and chieftains would join Obi to officially kick off the campaigns in the state.
The LP’s governorship candidate in the state, Athan Achonu, who briefed journalists in Owerri, said that all was set to welcome Obi and his entourage.
He said that the goal of the party was to run an issue-based campaign with the hope of unseating the All Progressives Congress government in the state.
Achonu said the LP members and all supporters were eagerly waiting for Obi’s arrival in Owerri, on Tuesday.
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.
