Abia State Governor Alex Otti has expressed confidence that the Labour Party, LP, candidates in the forthcoming elections will be victorious, particularly in Imo State.
He also charged the candidates of the party and their supporters in Imo to cast their votes with confidence and ensure that their votes are protected at the polls.
Governor Otti gave the charge on Wednesday at Owerri, Imo State, while addressing LP members during the official flag-off of the Imo LP campaign.
“On behalf of the party, I want to pray that it is well with all of you. I therefore give you the charge to go out there and win, because victory is certain.
“You have only one vote. Only one. So, it is not enough to cast it; you need to protect it,” Gov. Otti stated.
Otti, however, cautioned LP members in Imo against the chant of “Best Governor” for him, noting that he was not competing with Governor Hope Uzodinma or other Governors in the country.
According to him, every state has its peculiar challenges to tackle, arguing that he is only addressing the challenges he met on the ground in Abia.
Handing over the party’s flags to the LP National Assembly and State Assembly candidates in Imo State, the National Chairman of the Labour Party, Nenadi Usman, expressed confidence that her party would be victorious at the polls in Imo State.
Usman, who was represented by the LP Deputy National Chairman, North West, Salisu Nuhu Muhammed, said the LP would capitalize on its performance in Abia to gain victory in Imo State.
