The Lagos governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour (GRV), urges the governor-elect of Abia State, Dr. Alex Otti, not to disappoint the people of the state.
Otti, also from the Labour Party, won the governorship election by polling 175,466 votes, defeating his closest opponent from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Okey Ahiwe, who received 88,526 votes.
In a statement by Rhodes-Vivour’s media aide, Judith Akatugba, on Thursday, GRV congratulated Otti on his victory and expressed confidence that the people of Abia State made the right choice. He went on to encourage Otti to demonstrate to Nigerians that the Labour Party is exceptional.
GRV Statment to Alex Otti on the Need for Labour Party to prove itself
“I am confident that Sir Alex Otti will not waste time to prove to Nigerians through Abia state that indeed our great party, the Labour Party (LP), is an idea whose time has come.
“I believe he will approach governance from the people-first perspectives, which the LP represents.
“The people of Abia state have spoken and we have heard them loud and clear. They are obviously tired of leaders whose lives get better every day while the people suffer under-development amidst poverty.
They have chosen to end the long years of deceit and corruption which have characterised governance in the state, despite the huge resources at the beck and call of Abia state. We appreciate their trust in the Labour Party and we assure them they will never regret this.
“To my brother, the governor-elect, this is the time to get to work without delay. The job starts now and not until after the inauguration. There is a need to prove to other states and Nigerians as a whole that the Labour Party (LP) is in a class of its own, and through you, we strengthen the movement of retiring those who have hoodwinked many Nigerians into believing that they are the best the nation can produce.
“Once again, I congratulate you and wish you a development-filled administration in Abia state.”
