Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of Labour Part( LP) in the last general elections, has charged the people of Ondo State to vote for LP in order to build a new nation.
He described the present democracy in the country as nothing but a mere transitional politics which All Progressives Congress(APC) has turned the nation’s democracy to.
Obi said: “We are here for the campaign of the gubernatorial election coming up on Saturday.
“We know democracy is suffering in Nigeria, we know they’ve turned democracy into transitional politics, but we still insist that we continue to campaign and telling Nigerians that this is time to start building a new Nigeria.
“A Nigeria where a child of nobody is somebody, a Nigeria where there will be equal opportunity, a Nigeria where we put people out of poverty, a Nigeria where our children will be in school, where our hospitals will work.
“We don’t want people to give us money which they’ve stolen from us and thereafter, they continue to steal more.
“We want to stop the stealing and start the rebuilding, we want to stop the destroying and start the rebuilding, we want to move this country from consumption to production, so we can create jobs. That’s why we are here campaigning.
“Ondo electorate should shun vote-buying and selling because it’s money which they’ve stolen that they are using to buy them.”
Addressing the crowd at Ilesha Motor Park, the LP candidate, Sola Ebiseni told the people to vote for him, reminding them the performance of LP when in power for eight years in the state.
Ebiseni said: “This is very exciting. Labour Party is the most popular political party in Ondo State. This is a party that the people of Ondo State voted for twice and was in power in this state between 2009 and 2017.
“Our programmes and policies and even projects are everywhere and you know it. Everywhere you go in Ondo State, all the projects you see they are in the colour of the dress I am wearing. “I am deliberately wearing the orange colour, which is the color of Labour Party and the colour you will see in every project.
“Our presidential candidate is here to give support and to let Nigerians know that Labour Party is the party to vote for.”
