October 13, (THEWILL) – The Labour Party (LP) on October 18, will officially flag off its presidential campaign in Lafia, Nasarawa State.
Chairman of the party in Nasarawa State, Alexander Emmanuel, who disclosed this at a press conference on Thursday in Lafia said preparations for the event have been completed.
Emmanuel explained that the party chose Nasarawa for the presidential campaign kick-off because of the state’s support for its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and his running partner, Yusuf Ahmed-Datti.
He commented on the party’s followers for their efforts in rallying support for the Obi/Datti ticket.
“Just like how other states of the country have been massively supporting the Labour party’s presidential candidate, Nasarawa State was the first to organize a street march in support of the Obi/Datti ticket.”
“And I think that should be the reason the LP’s national leadership chooses Nasarawa state for the campaign flag-off on October 18, 2022.
“So, I am urging everyone who has been yearning for a better Nigeria to come out in their numbers to welcome Obi and Datti to Lafia on Tuesday, Oct. 18″, he said.
“Given Nigerians’ trust in Peter Obi and other candidates to turn the country around”, the state chairman expressed optimism that the LP will win the 2023 general election.
