Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti has vowed to work with the leadership of Labour Party to ensure that the party wins the coming governorship election in Edo State
The Governor, who paid a courtesy visit to the Labour Party’s National Secretariat in Abuja yesterday, was full of praises for Mr. Julius Abure leadership. He also attributed his successes in the last seven months as Abia State governor to hard work, dedication and love for the people.
While addressing the party’s National Working Committee, the governor said, “I want to thank you for holding the party for us, fighting on the side of the Party and protecting what we know today as the Labour Party.
The reality is that the law as it is today recognises only the political parties and not individuals. When you take away the party, the individual collapses, even if it is the president. That is why it is critical that we hold on to the platform upon which we are elected.
“I also want to thank you for the support you have been giving to our representatives in the national and state assemblies and myself also who happens to be the only elected governor under Labour Party. We thank God that today we have a governor but I can assure you that that position will change soon with the coming elections in Edo and Ondo states.”
Abure while welcoming the governor extolled his great performance since assumption of office particularly the transformation of the capital and commercial cities of Umuahia and Aba respectively.
He said, “Your Excellency, what you have brought to governance in just a little above six months in Abia state is indescribable. What your predecessors could not achieve in several years in office, you have achieved. Abia people will be eternally grateful to the Labour Party for giving them this precious gift as a leader.
We can only hope that people will begin to see from the transformation going on in Abia that the Labour Party is the only party that has the interest of the people at heart.”
He also assured the governor that the party is being repositioned to be the best political party in Nigeria with highest electoral potentials, and a party which has since assumed its rightful position as a foremost opposition party in Nigeria.
He assured the governor that the party will field the best and winnable candidate in the coming offseason elections in Edo and Ondo states with the capacity to achieve victory for the party.
