The Labour Party (LP), Enugu State Chapter, has directed local government executives of the party to embark on a massive enlightenment programme for rural dwellers ahead of the 2023 general election.
The State Chairman of the party, Hon. Casmir Agbo, gave the directive last Thursday during a meeting with the executives of the 17 local government chapters of the party in the state.
Addressing journalists after the meeting, Agbo said that the meeting signalled the beginning of mass mobilisation of the electorate in the state.
“The executives have been given the mandate to move into the nooks and crannies of their areas and sensitise the people on the activities of Labour Party.
“Although we are not entirely new as a political party, we are aware that the leadership style of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over time has affected the psyche of voters in the state.
“We want to reinvigorate their appetite and hunger to participate in the electoral process. We want them to have hope in the new Nigeria that we are bringing on board.
“I tell you, it’s going to be a “Tsunami” in Enugu State. We have already taken over the state and the country,”
Agbo, who is also the governorship candidate of the party in Enugu, said the party would soon come out with a blueprint on how to govern the state, if voted into power.
He explained that goal is to permanently retire PDP in the state through good leadership that is accountable to the citizenry.
