He said:
"A few months ago, no one gave the Labour Party a chance, but through the power of God, the will of the people, and the leadership of His Excellency, Peter Obi, we have shaken the foundation of Nigeria's corrupt political system, and made citizens believe in the actualisation of a new Nigeria.
"Saturday, March 11, 2023 is the time to consolidate and ensure that the party secure a majority of the Anambra State House of Assembly seats. The people of Anambra spoke with one voice on February 25th, and that voice must re-echo in our state legislature.
"You all represent the hope of millions of Nigerians, and we must prove to the people that they made the right choice by sticking with Labour Party."
Legit.ng recalls that the Labour Party secured over 90% of the total votes in the presidential election in Anambra state, and won two of the three senatorial seats in the state, defeating two incumbent senators in the process, and also won majority in the Federal House of Representatives seats in Anambra.
