Reinforcing the critical urgency to come out more than they did in the presidential election, he continued: “Let me make it even clearer that good governance for speedy prosperity for you and me is only realistic and better impacted at the grassroots, which are the states and of course the local governments. So, a vote for Labour Party candidates in this vital election on Saturday is your evident affirmation to be connected to your primary development centres as a constitutional right for a bonded thriving nationhood.
“Please let’s come out forcefully as pioneers of our movement to resiliently assert your role in history by rejecting the desperate mafia schemes of them that count you as articles to be bought than humans to be loved and protected.”

His records are there, verified and acknowledged. He has the best original copy of obedience to the rule of law, faith in the adjudication of our courts, and patience to retrieve what is grabbed unlawfully from popular mandate.
“He has been triumphant thus far, and our best energy must be to support a bondage breaker like him.”
The LP poster boy said the intimidations “must not scare us, nor the weakening of spirits be accommodated, because those using these notorious tools already know we are stronger, hence they remain blind to our resolve to clean their mess, neat and permanent.
“I take this opportunity to once again thank the gracious people of Idemili North and South for their special confidence reposed in me in the last elections, and I reassure them and our nation, that the desires of the youths remain inclusively best, that our country be governed by competence, character, capacity and compassion.
