In a special goodwill message from the office of the National Youth Leader of Labour Party (LP), Comrade Eragbe Anselm, the party has reminded Nigerians that meeting collective national expectations as citizens will be determined by the choices the people make in the forthcoming general elections in 2023.
The Youth Leader, who is also the Edo North 2023 Senatorial Candidate of the party in Edo State, spoke in his September, 2022 message saying that the “good LORD has again presented us, with yet another golden opportunity, to contribute our quota to nation building and posterity.”
He noted categorically that “the political journey we have embarked upon as a people in this dispensation, will no doubt, make or mar our expectations depending on the choices we make in 2023.
“For us in the Labour Party (LP), our Presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, is prepared to change our narratives from a consumption economy to a production economy by engaging the numerous.
“The expected outcome for 2023, will be consequent upon our actions, and indicative of the degree of Labour and productivity with optimization.
“Our desires is to engender massive job creation and wealth generation for our people in the Federal Republic of Nigeria”, he said.
According to the Edo North Senatorial Candidate, “this new month, will no doubt, herald the beginning of the 2023 general electioneering and political campaigns beginning on 28th, in a long and tortuous political exercise, that will remind us of the reality of the grim situation we are faced with as a people and nation.
“The spate of inflation and poverty in the land, unwarranted hunger, incessant insecurity, ASUU strikes and the near total collapse of our institutions and economy currency and the decline in the purchasing power of the Naira are pointers to the need for electing people with proven capacity and integrity to lead Nigeria 2023 beginning.
“The Nigerian voters are enjoined to once again uphold more vehemently, their right to decide who will lead them in 2023 through the instrumentality of the ballot papers by voting wisely.
