Julius Abure, national chairman of the Labour Party (LP),
says the party would hold Peter Obi, the presidential candidate, to his
campaign promises if elected president.
Speaking in an interview with THISDAY, Abure said the party
will not just form a government, but will go as far as to “join the people and
fight” any of their candidates, voted into office, who reneges on his promises
to the electorate.
“If they form a government and decide not to do what the
people want, we will abandon them and join the people to fight them. We are
going to have a paradigm shift in the manner and ways politics is played in
Nigeria. We are going to provide leadership by example,” Abure was quoted as
saying.
“Labour Party will not just bring a government in place for
Peter Obi, we are going to hold him accountable because the movement transcends
Peter Obi. It is even transcending LP; it is about the people of Nigeria.
“It’s about the
future of the country, the growth and development of the country, the
downtrodden Nigerians that have been suffering over the years and about the
blood of Nigerians who have been slaughtered for years by the maladministration
of the PDP and the current APC government.
“We are ready to provide leadership and the people are ready
to follow. We are 100 per cent ready for the campaign. The party’s manifesto is
ready; our message is ready; our personnel are ready. We are ready to hit the
ground running. They are very agitated to be on the street. We have been ones
restraining them not to.
“I have set the pace. I will go beyond Oyegun. He only
succeeded in bringing in a government and never succeeded in holding that
government accountable.”
