PATRICK ABANG, Calabar –
Labour Party Chairman of Cross River State, Ambassador Ogar Osim has cautioned supporters and members of the party in the state never to incite the public or spread hate speech in efforts to market their presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi.
Amb. Osim asserted that their principal is not in any way difficult to introduce or market unlike candidates of other parties whom he claimed are not as appealing as theirs.
He stated this on Monday while addressing over 60 support groups in Calabar on how to renovate a massive property donated by their senatorial candidate for Cross River south, who is a current House of Representatives member, Daniel Asuquo.
He disclosed that the commissioning ceremony by Obi next month will coincide with the upcoming 2million-man march in the state.
Osim said, “We are not like others who are unruly. We are obedient supporters of a very marketable candidate of a fast growing political party in Africa.
“We do not have any needs therefore to abuse any one, spread hate speech or even incite people against the other.
“Our principal is well educated and the several schools he attended are traceable and verifiable. He has impeccable credentials in education, business and leadership. So it is not difficult at all to present him for election. Others have difficulties to make their candidates appeal to electorate..
“Besides, Labour Party is a family party, which logo depicts father, mother and children…”
He charged all support groups to go into the hinterlands to educate the folks about LP logo.
“Nigerians know Peter Obi but many don’t know our LP logo. So we must begin now to move into the hinterlands and educate people about our logo.”
