Osun State chapter of the Labour Party has described the party as the vehicle that will deliver a new Nigeria while its Presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, is the driver.
Addressing newsmen at the unveiling of the party in Ile-Ife yesterday, LP branch chairman, Olamide Awosunle, said the party remained the better alternative to the other two parties that have failed to deliver the dividend of democracy to Nigerians.
He described the party’s presidential flag bearer, Dr. Peter Obi as a tested and trusted leader endowed with all that is required to solve the security, social and economic problems bedevilling the country.
His words, “Today’s official unveiling of the Labour Party in Ile-Ife is to publicly announce to Ife people, Osun people, Nigerians and the entire world that the Labour Party is the vehicle and Peter Obi is the driver to the actualisation of a New Nigeria.
“It is high time we took courage and a bold step to get our country from the control of dinosaurs that see Nigeria as their heritage and personal belonging.
“The overwhelming rot, corruption and impunity in our nation has reached its climax, hence the need to tell all the greedy elites and cabals that have been recycling political positions among themselves to leave the stage”.
While calling for people’s participation in the electoral process, Awosunle assured the Osun electorate that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) now has the ability to deliver free, fair, transparent and credible elections considering its performance in the Osun and Ekiti governorship elections.
