The Labour Party (LP) has issued a warning to rival political parties in Imo State not to jeopardise the ‘Obidients family’s’ backing for Athan Achonu, the party’s nominee for governor in the state.
The party urged other parties to take note that Achonu is the lone representative for the Labour Party in the upcoming November 11 governorship elections, which will take place in Kogi, Bayelsa, and Imo states.
According to Anaedoonline.ng, the Labour Party announced this on Tuesday in Abuja at a joint press conference hosted by the party’s National Youth Leader, Prince Kennedy Ahanotu, Chief Spokesperson, Obi Datti, Presidential Campaign Council, Dr. Tanko Yunusa, and National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh.

The leaders of the Labour Party emphasised the importance of not underestimating the support of Peter Obi’s supporters in the Imo State elections on November 11.
Recall that Senator Athan Achonu’s governorship campaign was recently launched in Owerri, the capital of Imo State, by Obi.
Speaking further, they said, “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.
“At the function, our principal called on all the Obedient family members in Imo State to file behind the Labour Party candidate, Senator Achonu. He also said that Achonu stands tallest among other candidates in the contest, having developed a programme well suited for Imolites, which will end hunger, insecurity and unemployment, which is very prevalent in the state under the current leadership.

“Senator Achonu has been cleared by the National Executive Council (NEC) of the party to fly its flag. His nomination has since been adopted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and the courts in the land, including the Supreme Court, have given recognition to Senator Achonu’s candidacy.”
