The Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, made an impassioned visit to Akure on Monday to rally support for Chief Sola Ebiseni, the party’s candidate in the governorship contest of Ondo State billed to hold on Saturday.
Peter Obi, joined by key figures of the Labour Party, embarked on a dynamic road show that traversed the bustling streets of Akure.
Before an enthused crowd, Obi implored the people of Ondo State to exercise their democratic right by casting their ballots in support of the Labour Party. His appeal was underscored by a firm admonition to abstain from vote buying and selling.
Peter Obi said, “We are here for the campaign of the gubernatorial election coming up on Saturday.
“We know democracy is suffering in Nigeria, we know they’ve turned democracy into transitional politics but we still insist that we continue to campaign and telling Nigerians that this is time to start building a new Nigeria.
“A Nigeria where a child of nobody is somebody, a Nigeria where there will be equal opportunity, a Nigeria where we put people out of poverty, a Nigeria where our children will be in school, where our hospitals will work.
“We don’t want people to give us money which they’ve stolen from us and thereafter, they continue to steal more.
“We want to stop the stealing and start the rebuilding, we want to stop the destroying and start the rebuilding. We want to move this country from consumption to production so we can create jobs. That’s why we are here campaigning.”
Chief Ebiseni on his part emphasized that the Labor Party remained the most beloved political party in Ondo State.
He conveyed the Labor Party’s far-reaching impact across Ondo State, highlighting the party’s commitment to implementing a wide array of programs, policies, and projects that would be of benefits to every corner of the state.
