The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr Peter Obi, has called on the party candidates to be committed to nation building and have strong desire for service to the people.
Obi made the statement while addressing journalists after a closed door meeting with the house of assembly candidates in Awka, Anambra State, recently.
Speaking further, Obi said he had charged the candidates to victory, while also charging them to ensure they work with the state governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo when they attain victory.
Obi was reacting to a video where the Anambra State governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo had said that he will not work with members of other political parties, who emerge in the House of Assembly.
“We are not urging anyone to impeach any other person. We held a meeting with our assembly members, and we are calling on Nigerians to vote for Labour Party.
“We are not asking anyone to impeach anyone. People should not be afraid of impeachment. We only seek to get things right in Nigeria.”
However, Obi wrote on his Twitter handle;
“Yesterday, I shared great moments with all the candidates of our great party, LP, in Anambra State, both at the Federal and State level. I reminded them that at the centre of our campaign will be a strong desire for service to the people and a firm commitment to nation building.
“We must build a better nation for ourselves and for the future generations. Once again, I congratulate our candidates who won various elective posts at the Federal Level, and encouraged those contesting at the State level to give in their best.
“I listened to their challenges and wished them well. They shall succeed. A New Nigeria is here. -PO”
