The Anambra State chapter of the Labour Party, LP, has reacted to a recent statement by the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, that LP would fizzle out before the 2025 governorship election in the state, telling the ruling party that Anambra people will reject it in the next governorship election.
The state chairman of the party, Hon Ugochukwu Emeh, at a news conference in Awka, said the people do not require a soothsayer to tell Governor Chukwuma Soludo that he has failed the people.
Emeh said: "Our great party, since the Supreme Court verdict, has been undergoing some internal restructuring in order to face the challenges ahead.
I believe in a few months time, Nigerians and Ndi Anambra will see a brand new Labour Party.
"We all know that Labour Party is a mass movement for all Nigerians irrespective of tribe, religion or ethnicity. "Nigerians voted massively for our national leader and presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi and all our candidates in the 2023 general elections.
"Although the outcome of the election and court processes have come and gone, we make bold to say that we are proud of our son and presidential candidate."
"Six months have gone by and our members in various states of the federation were sworn in, either as Governor, Senators, House of Representatives members or House of Assembly members."
"Within these months, our national assembly members, from Senator Tony Nwoye, Senator Victor Umeh, down to House of Representatives members, to House of Assembly members, we are proud of their achievements so far."
"We and the Obidient Family are proud of them. They are true ambassadors of a New Nigeria. We urge them to continue to keep faith because a New Nigeria is still possible with Mr Peter Obi and Labour Party."
Emeh recalled that prior to the 2023 general elections, Prof. Soludo wrote, just to spite Peter Obi, adding that he worked tirelessly to frustrate the Nigerian Project because he believed that "if it is not him, it should not be anyone else".
He said further: "Nigerians are still waiting for the Part 2 of Soludo's letter."
"The APGA government should focus on feeding Anambra State with the expectations of the people."
"As at today, Anambra people have rejected APGA. Quality representation is all Anambra citizens clamour for, which has not been seen in the government of Prof. Soludo."
"The government has been insensitive to the plight of our people; it has subjected Ndi Anambra to extreme poverty."
"We want to let Nigerians know that we are proud of our state representatives at the National Assembly. They have distinguished themselves as true Ambassadors of A New Nigeria Project."
