“We will change the economic narratives of Imo State. Athan Achonu is the only governorship candidate of Labour Party in Imo State.
Presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the February 25 presidential election, Peter Obi, has said that his party will win the November 11 governorship election in Imo State.
Obi was speaking in Owerri, the state capital, on Tuesday at the flag-off of the campaigns for the party in the state. Obi said the LP is known for performance and excellence.
Using Abia State which his party controls as an example of good governance, Obi stated that the people of Abia State now have hope and are witnessing good governance because a “first-class brain” who knows what he is doing is now the governor of the state.
Obi urged the people of Imo State to come out en masse and vote Achonu as the next governor of the state on November 11.
He described Athan Achonu as the only governorship candidate of the party in Imo State, and Julius Abure, as the only duly recognised and authentic national chairman of the party.
He said that the process that produced Achonu as the party’s governorship candidate in the state was credible.
He said, “Abure is the national chairman of our party. We don’t have another chairman. LP will win Imo State. Athan Achonu is the only candidate of the party and he is the best in Imo State. I am happy nobody has changed the process. I believe in process.
“LP wants to change Nigeria. We are asking Nigeria for the opportunity. Give us chance in Nigeria, there will be change. In Abia State today, there is hope, that is what is called governance.
“We want Nigeria to have leaders that will do what they preach. We know what it takes to change Nigeria. That is why we are here. We know what it takes to change Imo.
“I believe in process. Achonu emerged through the right process. Vote for LP and things will start happening.”
