National Chairman of the Labour Party, LP, Barr Julius Abure has said the Party will use the forthcoming Anambra State Governorship election in November, to test their expected victory in the 2027 Presidential election.
Abure stated this in Awka, Anambra State capital on Monday, according to Obiora Ifo, National Publicity Secretary of the Party, in a press statement, during a forum, organized by an organ of the Party, Directorate of Mobilization and Integration, DMI, for aspirants to meet with their delegates, ahead of the Primary election, coming up, Saturday, this week.
Abure, represented by the National Women Leader, Mrs Dudu Manuga said: “We want to use Anambra to test what 2027 will be. LP has grown beyond a briefcase Party, we are in all the States of Nigeria and Abuja, and we are getting ready, not just for Anambra, but for 2027.
“After the Primary election this Saturday, no one will be angry. We will all join hands to emerge in the main election in November. Let us not be weak, let us not biker, let us all stand strong, be united and nothing will be impossible for us to achieve.
“This forum is to bring the aspirants together and make them integrate with the people they want to govern. We will plant LP in every polling unit. What is happening today in Anambra State, is crucial for our victory in 2027.”
Aspirants of the Party; Dr George Moghalu and Mr John Nwosu attended the forum and, spoke to Party members on their manifestos.
In his speech, Moghalu insisted that the major problem of Anambra is with the people, losing confidence in the Government.
“People no longer trust Government, security has collapsed, thugs are used, to enforce tax. If Government is doing the right thing, people will pay their taxes, without being chased about, and can be collected, electronically,”
pledging to rebuild the State and bring the Government, closer to the electorate.
