LP to make Campaign Council List

The Labour Party’s National Chairman, Barrister Julius Abure, has told Nigerians that the party will soon make a comprehensive list of the members of its Campaign Council public.

In a statement released on Wednesday, Abure made this claim.

He said, “The Labour Party will officially open its campaigns in a few days, and the world will be formally notified.

“It will also formally unveil a list of leaders and party members that will formally support the campaign council.

“Today, the presidential candidate of our party, His Excellency Peter Obi and his running mate Dr. Baba Datti-Ahmed honoured an invitation from the Middle Belt forum to attend her solidarity rally in Jos.

“The hugely attended rally brought party faithful and supporters alike from all the states from the Middle Belt to welcome the rave of the moment, our candidate, and have assured him that the entire zone will stand with him.“

According to him, the Jos rally took place on the first day of the general election campaigns as mandated by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, weeks after more than 3 million party members gathered in Jos for a solidarity rally to ask Peter Obi to lead them in the 2023 general election.

The LP National Chairman said, “This is to advise our many fans and members around the nation that we have not yet started our campaigns.

“We are using this opportunity to sympathise with millions of Nigerian students who have been forced out of their various institutions of learning for nearly eight months by a government that has very little regards for our future generations.

“Education is the bedrock of any nation, and for any government to toil with the sector is disastrous. “

Therefore, the party called on the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari to swiftly end the ongoing dispute between the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities, or ASUU.

Additionally, it urged well-intentioned Nigerians to persuade the Federal Government to swallow its pride and save the education system before it irreparably devours our youth.

Abure said, “And to our esteemed university students, the Labour Party is aware of the difficulties you have been exposed to in the last seven years;  a situation where students spend six years for a four-year course.

“The Labour Party government intends to declare a state of emergency on education which will ultimately end the incessant academic disruption. Labour Party government is your government, and the youth will play a major role therein.”
