He added that the residents are worn out by bad governance and are itching to vote out the All Progressives Congress, APC, and the People’s Democratic Party, PDP and replace them with the Labour Party candidates in the coming elections.
“I accepted the request of the support groups, business class, the youth and members from other parties to embark on this sensitisation rally, because I want the people to understand the need why they should elect credible leaders into office in 2023. It is also to prove a point to other political parties who always say that our supporters are “only on the social media.”

“This is why we have sacrificed today to come out and show our support, solidarity for Labour party and the Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi.
“Nigerians must vote in 2023 for our children to return to school, to crash the high cost of food items and other issues that will help them out of the hands of APC”. He said.
