Ahead of the 2023 general elections, LP Enugu West Senatorial District candidate, Uchenna Ekwe, has condemned what it called a coward attempt to frighten party members during a meeting in Enugu State.
Ekwe said that no amount of gunfire or bombs could quiet a people’s agenda and resolve which time has come.
According to the Labour Party candidate, no amount of deceit or intimidation will be able to dissuade Enugu State residents from casting their votes in mass for the party in the coming elections.
He said this in a statement on Wednesday while reacting to the recent invasion by gunmen of LP members having a meeting in their party office in Awgu, headquarters of the Awgu council area.
“The cowardly attempt to scare the members of the Labour Party in Enugu State shows that the sponsors of the recent attacks are already at their wit’s end and totally frustrated,” Ekwe said.
According to him, “bullets and cache of bombs can silence a peoples’ agenda and resolve which time have come. The people of Enugu State have since made up their minds to vote massively for the Labour Party in the 2023 general election and no amount of subterfuge and intimidation can stop this moving train.
“This attack clearly establishes three things for us. First, the fear of the effervescent popularity of the Labour Party is now the beginning of panic for members of the ruling political class in Enugu State as they are already feeling the irrepressible resolve by Ndi Enugu that the wind of transformational leadership sweeping across the length and breadth of Nigeria must not leave Enugu State behind. This huge renewal of faith in transformational governance among Nigerians and Ndi Enugu is on the wings of the general acceptance of the servant-leadership appeal of Mr Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party and Hon Chijioke Edeoga, the governorship candidate of the Labour Party in Enugu State.
