LABOUR PARTY REACTS TO INECS FINAL LIST FOR 2023 GENERAL ELECTIONS

 ...Mocks Tobi Okechukwu's emergence as Labour Party' House of Representatives Candidate

Labour Party through Dr Ginger Ibeneme, the party Chairman in OjiRiver LG, Enugu State has expressed concern over certain issues ahead of the 2023 General Elections.

According to Ibeneme, the final lists for Presidential and Federal Legislature  candidates for 2023 elections released by INEC has left the media awash with the news.

"In Enugu State it turned out to be a furtherance of PDP Enugu State torment of Enugu State Labour Party", he said

"First we saw the name of one Tobi Okechukwu , (someone that has been in the Federal House of Representatives for 12 years , and lost PDP primaries) as the Labour Party candidate for Oji River / Awgu / Aninri federal constituency . We know Mr Okechukwu as a core cabal member of Enugu State PDP cartel". 

"While we were still trying to digest and understand the strange development, same Tobi Okechukwu purportedly did a press release to announce that he was “rejecting “ the ticket . 

These crooked acts have left us with  more questions and confusion . 

How did Mr Okechukwu end up in Labour Party ticket ? Why is he rejecting it ? Can Okechukwu claim to be ignorant of what transpired or was this another grand plan by the PDP to destroy opposition tickets just to pave way for their candidate to go solo .

6. Strangely APC ticket in the same constituency is embroiled in similar controversy that could potentially cancel it out . PDP is also likely the sponsor of that strange development.

Just last month the trend was violent attacks on Labour Party faithfuls and offices . There after they started “buying “ young members of Labour Party with fake appointments and 30,000 Naira stipend .

e recently uncovered their latest plot which is to buy 100 voters per polling booths  . They are gathering their voter’s card details , and collecting voters cards from some with the promise to pay them 5000 Naira every month till election. 

For a state with poverty rate standing at 58.13% , they expect that it would be very easy for them to succeed in this devilish agenda.

PDP has governed Enugu State since 1999 , with total revenue of close to 10 Trillion Naira in 24 years .

 What we have is extreme poverty , with more than half of the population living below $2 per day , and total collapse of infrastructure.

All the past governors and the current one, all PDP,  have borrowed over 50 billion Naira allegedly to develop water projects for the urban areas . As we speak no drop of water can be found in any tap in the whole state after 24 years and mind boggling amounts borrowed and looted .

We are also aware of abandoned projects littered in different constituencies by the PDP federal representatives in the state , no impact whatsoever on the lives of the people", Ibeneme had added.


The Labour Party stalwart noted that since young people came together in the state and decided to use the platform of Labour Party to provide opposition to PDP, they have expressed all kinds of attacks, threats, intimidation, harassments, financial baits etc. 

Ibeneme alleged that Enugu State PDP is so afraid to engage in any kind of competitive elections that they are throwing billions to make sure no other serious political parties appear on the ballot .

Insisting that the Tobi Okechukwu scandal has left the party with more doubt as to what PDP may have in stock for the governorship ticket which they have been pushing so hard to truncate, he pledged Labour Party's resolve to stand firm in the face of these provocations. 

"We shall continue to reveal the grand theft of our patrimony which Enugu State PDP has been orchestrating.

Enugu is the only state where only politicians can boast of wealth . No business man or industrialist in Enugu State can compete financially with this gang of thieves", Ibeneme revealed. 

He went further to call on Labour Party supporters to be calm adding that  all shall be well.

"The leadership of Labour Party in Enugu State would do all that is legally possible to resolve all the issues . 

Labour Party shall participate fully in all cadres of elections in Enugu State. No amount of bullying and no number of Tobi Okechukwu shall deter us", Ibeneme said.
