“They say LP has no big vehicles and has no structure, but those with big cars and structures are the people with the structure of corruption which Peter Obi has come to eradicate. They are the ones who have fed so fat on the common treasury of the state and Nigeria,” added Mr Ihejiagwa.
The Labour Party chair said people “are hungry for a new Imo and Nigeria.”
He said, “A new Imo and Nigeria are possible and attainable.”
Mr Ihejiagwa called for commitment, peace, fairness, openness and unity among council members and party officers to achieve success and ensure victory at the poll.
The council’s director-general, Chime Nzeribe, described the forthcoming election as a struggle to “emancipate Igboland, not only Imo.”
Mr Nzeribe said, “Go back home and work hard. The reason Obi has problem today is that the party’s mobilisation in the booths was not fantastic, and our results were not well-guarded. This is something we must work out to ensure that our results are well-guarded.”
