The Labour Party Presidential Candidate in the February 25 polls, Peter Obi has called on his supporters in Cross Rivers State to vote for the Peoples Democratic Party Gubernatorial Candidate, Sandy Onor in the March 18 governorship and State house of Assembly polls.
Obi during a live
interview on a local TV station said the Labour Party would partner with some
governorship candidates in some states for the polls.
“There are some states where my
Party, LP, doesn’t have candidates, and we are partnering some good candidates
in those states to ensure victory for them. We have good candidates in Lagos,
Delta, Plateau, Nasarawa, Enugu, Abia, and a few others. But in Cross River, we
have agreed to align with the PDP and its candidate, Prof Sandy Onor,”
the former PDP member explained.
He added, “He is a very good
candidate who enjoys strong support from the people. I urge all ‘Obidients’ in
Cross River to support and cast their votes for Prof Onor, who is a current
senator.”
The PDP Chairman in
Cross Rivers State, Venatius Ikem in a reaction to Obi’s endorsement said it
attests to the candidate’s pedigree as a man of the people.
Ikem averred that Onor’s endorsement by Obi was a clear demonstration of the
candidate’s wide acceptability by the people of Cross River.
“Obi’s endorsement didn’t come as a surprise to me. “In fact, it is an
attestation of the popularity and goodwill enjoyed by our candidate in the
state and beyond. It is a great value addition to our arsenal and it cannot be
underestimated,” Mr. Ikem explained. “With this endorsement of the ‘Obidient’
Movement’s phenomenal leader, we can now sleep with our two eyes closed knowing
that the issue of governorship has been settled.”
