The Labour Party (LP) has said the ‘Obidients family’ has only one candidate in the November 11 Imo State governorship election, in Athan Achonu, and that party members and loyalists should follow the instructions of the presidential candidate of the part, Mr Peter Obi and other party leaders to back him.
Igbere TV learnt that this was made known on Tuesday in Abuja at a joint briefing by Prince Kennedy Ahanotu, LP’s National Youth Leader; Dr Tanko Yunusa, Chief spokesperson, Obi Datti Presidential Campaign Council and Obiora Ifoh, LP’s National Publicity Secretary.
They noted that a few weeks ago, the Obedient family led by its principal, Mr Peter Obi, were in Owerri, Imo State capital, to flag off the governorship campaign of Senator Athan Achonu.
“Those present at the flag-off ceremony were many other leaders of the party as well as the Obedient family including the Abia State governor, Dr Alex Otti, members of the National Working Committee (NWC) and National Assembly members, including various stakeholders and party members.
They said they were not unmindful of attempts by some politicians to poach into the Obedient family and pursue an ‘identity theft’ agenda.
