The Labour Party governorship candidate in Lagos, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour has congratulated Alex Otti, the governor-elect of Abia State on his victory.
The Independent National Electoral Commission declared Dr Alex Otti as the winner of the just concluded gubernatorial election held on Saturday March 18.
Otti scored 175,466 votes to defeat his closest rival Okey Ahiwe of the Peoples Democratic Party who polled 88,526 votes.
Speaking on Thursday through his media aide, Judith Akatugba, Rhodes-Vivour said: “I am confident that Sir Alex Otti will not waste time to prove to Nigerians through Abia state that indeed our great party, the Labour Party (LP), is an idea whose time has come,” Rhodes-Vivour said.
“I believe he will approach governance from the people-first perspectives, which the LP represents.
“I am confident that Sir Alex Otti will not waste time to prove to Nigerians through Abia state that indeed our great party, the Labour Party (LP), is an idea whose time has come,” Rhodes-Vivour said.
“I believe he will approach governance from the people-first perspectives, which the LP represents.
“The people of Abia state have spoken and we have heard them loud and clear. They are obviously tired of leaders whose lives get better every day while the people suffer under-development amidst poverty. They have chosen to end the long years of deceit and corruption which have characterised governance in the state, despite the huge resources at the beck and call of Abia state. We appreciate their trust in the Labour Party and we assure them they will never regret this.
“To my brother, the governor-elect, this is the time to get to work without delay. The job starts now and not until after the inauguration. There is a need to prove to other states and Nigerians as a whole that the Labour Party (LP) is in a class of its own, and through you, we strengthen the movement of retiring those who have hoodwinked many Nigerians into believing that they are the best the nation can produce.
“Once again, I congratulate you and wish you a development-filled administration in Abia state.”
