The Labour Party (LP) campaign council says the party has
agents in all the polling units across the country.
Yunusa Tanko, spokesperson of the campaign council, said
this in a statement on Sunday.
Tanko urged Nigerians to disregard false information
circulating on social media that the LP hasn’t submitted names of agents for
90,000 polling units in the northern part of the country.
He said the story in circulation is an orchestrated
propaganda by the opposition to bring the rising influence of the LP down ahead
of the coming elections.
The LP campaign spokesperson said the party has foot
soldiers scattered to “man all polling units in the north and the entire
nation”.
“Opposition gimmicks to weaken the resolved minds of
Nigerians to vote Peter Obi and Datti Baba-Ahmed into power this year will not
fly,” the spokesperson said.
“We see this as yet another propaganda from the opposition
to bring our rising influence down and deceive the electorate in an election
year.
“We have volunteers
all over the country that surpass even the number of agents required for each
polling booth so the issue of not being able to supply agents for 90,000 units
is a complete fallacy designed by the enemies of progress in Nigeria.
“INEC gave a window of up to January 20 for political
parties to submit their list of agents for the elections and as such cannot at
this time raise concerns about any political party not being able to submit
enough agents.
“The Labour Party has a task force on the recruitment and
selection of agents headed by our presidential candidate H.E. Peter Obi himself
and his vice, Datti, the national chairman and the national secretary of the
party are all members of that committee.
“LPPCC is investigating the source of this propaganda
because we know it is not definitely from the INEC.
“We appeal to the
Obidient family and the teeming supporters of our party to disregard the
deceitful information and focus on the collection of their PVCs which are our
collective weapons to dislodge the enemies of our dear country.”
