http://www.newsportng.com.ng Leadership of labour Party in Kaduna state has said that the forthcoming February general elections is that year they have been waiting for to shock Nigerians and by extension, the world at large.
The Kaduna state labour Party Chairman, Hon. Auwal Tafoki stated this in Kaduna during the unity football penalty kick, organized in honour of the party’s presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi said the party without any doubt will not only win the presidential election but the Senate, House of Representatives and other key positions.
Tafoki, while applauding the organizers of the competition stressed that football is a uniting factor, adding that the government of labour Party will priotize peace and unity, in Kaduna state and the country at large, against what he termed as division across board under the present administration.
In his remarks, the chairman, All support groups, Chief Morrison Ikpeamaeze, said the initiative is aimed to make people happy during and after the festive period, thereby creating awareness in other to remind Nigerians that the election period is already at hand.
He added that the meeting is a “show of force” in solidarity with the Obi-Datti movement and other labour party candidates, urged the groups not to relent in canvassing for support until the dream is achieved even as politics is all about creating awareness.
“It is not good to suffer to register and refused to go out and vote. So I call on everybody to get their permanent voter’s card, (PVC) as their only weapon so as to vote out those performing below expectations and then vote in leaders who have the capacity to deliver.” He said.
Responding to assertions that the clamour for good governance from the Obi-dient movement is gradually going down, the labour Party youth leader, Comrade Augustine Aniagu, dismissed the claims, noting that the Obi-dient movement is a revolution that cannot be stopped until the aim and expectations of the youths are met.
Augustine said, “It’s not true. The Obi-dient movement is a movement that can never died down until we achieve our aims in 2023.
“People who are claiming the movement is dieing are those feeling intimidated by the movement. As far as we are concerned, the movement will not die because the youths will continue to clamour for the real change due to the hardship poised on them by both present and past administrations.
“Labour Party is a party that has to deal with humanity. With all the disunity, chaos, insecurity in the country, when LP comes into power, one of our greatest priority is to ensure there is peace in the country.
“When the LP comes into office, we are going to make sure all the loopholes that led into the issue of insecurity is addressed. So I am highly optimistic that labour party will win this year’s election and thereafter take Nigeria to it’s promised land.”
