Labour Party’s 2023 Presidential candidate, Peter Obi, urged Imo state’s current governor, Hope Uzodimma, to prepare to vacate the government house ahead of the November 11, 2023 governorship election. Obi made this statement during the launch of Senator Athan Achonu’s governorship campaign for the Labour Party in Owerri.
Obi believes that the Labour Party’s entrance into Imo state’s government would end misgovernance. He expressed confidence in the party’s national chairman, Abure, and endorsed Achonu as the best candidate. Obi emphasized that LP aims to bring change to Nigeria and highlighted the positive changes happening in Abia State under capable leadership.
Governor Alex Otti affirmed Achonu as the sole governorship candidate, attesting to his selection through a valid process. Otti praised the Labour Party’s governance record and encouraged voters to support the party.
Athon Achonu, the Labour Party’s candidate for Imo governorship, pledged to address local issues once in office. His plans include conducting Local Government Areas elections, improving infrastructure, ending insecurity, ensuring timely payments for civil servants and pensioners, and maintaining autonomy and financial transparency for local governments.
Achonu also promised a peaceful transition of power and a focus on human capital development. He vowed to alleviate the suffering of Imo residents by addressing their needs and concerns effectively.
In summary, Peter Obi’s call for the incumbent governor’s departure signals the Labour Party’s intent to bring change to Imo state. The party’s focus on competent leadership, governance, and development is emphasized by the endorsements from Obi, Otti, and Achonu. The Labour Party’s agenda centers on resolving local issues, fostering transparency, and enhancing the quality of life for Imo residents.
