The national chairman of Labour Party, Mr Julius Abure has said that the party would use the November 8, 2025 gubernatorial election in Anambra State to prove its expected victory in the 2027 presidential election.
He stated this yesterday in Awka, the Anambra State capital during a forum organised by the party’s Directorate of Mobilisation and Integration (DMI) for aspirants under the platform of the party to meet with LP members ahead of the governorship primary election to be held on Saturday.
Abure who was represented by the party’s national women leader, Mrs Dudu Manuga said: “We want to use Anambra to test what 2027 will be. Labour Party has grown beyond a briefcase party; we are in all the states of Nigeria and Abuja, and we are getting ready not just for Anambra but for 2027.
“After the primary election this Saturday, no one is permitted to be angry. We will all join hands to emerge in the main election in November. Let us not be weak, let us not biker, let us all stand strong, be united and nothing will be impossible for us to achieve.
“This forum is to bring the aspirants together and make them integrate with the people they want to govern. We will plant LP in every polling unit. What is happening today in Anambra is crucial for our victory in 2027,” he said.
Though the two aspirants for the party governorship ticket, Dr George Moghalu and Mr John Nwosu attended the forum, the latter left shortly before the event commenced.
Nwosu who had been waiting for quite a long time with Mr Oseloka Obaze and many other supporters left shortly after Moghalu arrived.
But the party’s national secretary, Mr. Obiora Ifoh later stated that Nwosu told him that he left to attend to an emergency.
