On Monday, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, held a town hall meeting in Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi state, to woo voters and strengthen the Obi/Datti campaign.
The gathering was attended by the LP’s National Secretary, Umar Faruk Ibrahim, officials of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) Kebbi state, youth movements for Obi, and candidates of the Labour Party and their executives.
Speaking at the event, the chief host, who is also the state chairman of the NLC in Kebbi state, stated that the party has come to rescue Nigerians from the current state of the country, adding that LP belongs to the NLC.
He also stated that because the party is affiliated with organized labor, it knows no religion or tribe.
While welcoming the party’s national leaders, comrade Umar Halidu assured them of the support of his chapter and the Obi/Datti movement in Kebbi state.
In his speech, Ibrahim said that they were in Kebbi to sensitise the people of the state on the need for them to vote for the right candidate noting that what is happening in the country knows no religion or tribe “so people should close ranks and vote the right person not minding his religion or tribe ” we are happy with the reception we received in Kebbi and it shows Labour Party is alive in Kebbi, we saw Igbos, Hausas and other tribes.
On what Peter Obi will do differently, the LP national scribe stated that if elected, Obi’s government will first and foremost stabilize the country and ensure there is a responsible government in place for all Nigerians free of nepotism, adding that once that is achieved, everything will settle, including the economy, security, and all other sectors in the country.
He explained that LP will receive at least 70% to 80% of the 89 million votes expected, implying victory. “We need a country where every citizen will sleep with his eyes open, a country where every child will go to school, rich or poor families,” he said.
