Labour Party flags off presidential campaign in Nasarawa October 18
The Labour Party is set to officially begin its presidential campaign in Lafia, Nasarawa, on October 18.
Alexander Emmanuel, the party’s chairman in Nasarawa, told journalists at a press conference on Thursday in Lafia that arrangements have been concluded for the exercise.
According to him, the party chose Nasarawa for the presidential campaign flag-off due to the people’s support for its presidential candidate, Peter Obi and his running mate, Yusuf Ahmed-Datti.
He commended the party’s supporters across the country for their efforts thus far in canvassing for more support for the Obi/Datti ticket.
“Just like how other states of the country have been massively supporting the Labour party’s presidential candidate, Nasarawa state was the first to organise a street march in support of the Obi/Datti ticket,” Mr Emmanuel explained. “And I think that should be the reason the LP’s national leadership chose Nasarawa state for the campaign flag-off on October 18, 2022.”
The party chieftain expressed optimism that the Labour Party would win the 2023 presidential election.
