In Imo, the Labour Party has formally launched a campaign council comprising 481 members to coordinate and lead their efforts for the upcoming gubernatorial election scheduled for November 11.
Callistus Ihejiagwa, the Chair of the Labour Party in Imo, emphasized the gravity of the situation and urged council members not to underestimate the “urgent and critical” mission to rescue the state.
He reminded them that they now bear the responsibility of representing the Labour Party, Senator Athan Achonu, and Peter Obi throughout every corner and community in their respective areas. Mr. Ihejiagwa stressed that this is a call to duty, service, and selfless dedication for the betterment of Imo.
Mr. Ihejiagwa urged the council to approach their duties with pride, integrity, and a selfless spirit, recognizing that they have been chosen by a divine purpose to free Imo. He cautioned that failure to deliver on this mission would not be forgiven by the people.
He also highlighted the prevailing insecurity in the state, which has prompted many to hold traditional events outside of Imo due to concerns about potential attacks.
Addressing criticisms about the party’s lack of prominent vehicles and infrastructure, Mr. Ihejiagwa countered that those who possess grand cars and structures often harbor the structure of corruption, a problem Peter Obi aims to eradicate. He pointed out that these individuals have enriched themselves at the expense of the state and the nation’s common resources.
Mr. Ihejiagwa emphasized that the people are yearning for a new era in Imo and Nigeria, asserting that a brighter future is within reach.
He called upon council members and party officials to demonstrate unwavering commitment, promote peace, uphold fairness, embrace transparency, and foster unity to secure success and triumph in the upcoming election.
Chime Nzeribe, the Director-General of the council, described the forthcoming election as a battle not only for Imo but also for the emancipation of Igboland as a whole. He urged council members to return to their communities and work diligently. He pointed out that one of the challenges faced by the party in previous elections was insufficient mobilization at polling stations and inadequate protection of their results, a problem they must rectify to safeguard their success.
