The event held at the Ngwa High School field in Osisioma local government area had many Labour Party chieftains in attendance including the Abia governorship candidate, Alex Otti.

Obi observed that Aba which used to be a commercial nerve centre is fast declining as businesses are shutting down. He however promised to resuscitate the ailing industries not only in Aba but in other parts of Nigeria and make the business environment conducive for new ones to spring up.

He said: “Under Labour Party, Nigeria will not be the same again. Labour Party is committed to turning around Nigeria. We are committed to building a better Nigeria.

“Aba is a great town. When I came to Aba today, I went around Aba by air… All the factories in Aba have closed down.

“All the businesses in Aba and other parts of Nigeria have closed down because the government of Nigeria failed to show interest in reviving ailing industries. All these will be changed by the Labour Party.

“Today, nobody’s secured in Nigeria. Our commitment is to secure Nigeria.

“We will secure and unite Nigeria. Aba and Port Harcourt under our government will be 30mins.
