The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, President, Abdulwaheed Omar yesterday said that he will lead the Labour Party, LP, governorship campaign in Anambra State.
Briefing journalists at the weekend shortly after its 16th National Executive Council, NEC, Omar said that workers in Anambra State have suffered in previous regimes and wondered why they will toy with the opportunity to enthrone an LP government in the state.
While endorsing the candidature of Ifeanyi Uba, Omar said: "We have now resolved that we will not only go and cast our votes and fold our arms after sensitising the workers and other Nigerians, but we will monitor the collation, the counting up to the declaration of the results. We will encourage every worker to ensure he or she will be part of the monitoring.
"Anambra is very unique particularly to workers. Not only workers, even market women and other people, therefore I think Anambra people are desperately looking for a change and a change for the better."
He said that the Labour Party will campaign in Anambra State as it in Edo and Ondo States. "We will tell the sceptics that LP is the party that Nigerians need if they want development as being witnessed in Edo and Ondo states."
