Peter Obi, Abure, Others Storm Owerri For Achonu Governorship Campaign

Labour Party (LP) Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi, alongside Abia State Governor, Alex Otti and the party’s National Chairman, Barrister Julius Abure, will be in Owerri, Imo State capital today (Tuesday) as the party commences its governorship campaign.

The campaign, set for the upcoming November 11 governorship election, is scheduled to commence on Tuesday, August 22 in Owerri.

The Achonu/Nwulu Campaign Organisation disclosed this in a statement released on Monday.

Party enthusiasts, dubbed “Obidients,” are expected in large numbers to show support as Senator Athan Achonu and deputy governorship candidate, Tony Nwulu, kickstart the campaign.

Promising a significant event, Achonu hinted at a rally reminiscent of Peter Obi’s monumental “One-Million-Man march” during his presidential run.

He mentioned that both Obi and Otti, along with other party leaders, aim to make a substantial impact at the event.

Achonu plans to reveal his comprehensive manifesto at the rally, urging Imo State residents to attend and hear his vision for positive change.

The manifesto focuses on navigating the current economic challenges and transitioning from consumption to production to better the state’s socioeconomic stance.

The LP governorship candidate hopes to defeat the sitting governor of the state and candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hope Uzodinma.
