2023: Nigerians Can’t Be Stopped From Voting Peter Obi – Labour Party Declares

Yunusa Tanko, the spokesperson for the Labour Party (LP), says attempts by opposition party members to dissuade Nigerians from voting for Peter Obi will fail.

This was stated by an LP spokesperson while debunking reports that the Labour Party does not have enough polling agents ahead of the 2023 presidential election.

He claims that the party has more than enough agents to run all polling stations in the country for the 2023 election.

This came as he urged members of the public and party supporters to disregard reports that the party lacks agents for 90,000 polling units.

In a statement issued on Sunday, Tanko stated that those behind the false reports are opposition members who are scared of the party’s growing popularity.

He also stated that Nigerians are ready to vote for Peter Obi and Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed in the February 25 presidential election and that no attempt to persuade them otherwise will be fruitless.

He said:

Opposition gimmicks to weaken the resolved minds of Nigerians to vote Peter Obi and Datti Baba-Ahmed into power this year will not fly.

We see this as yet another propaganda from the opposition to bring our rising influence down and deceive the electorate in an election year.

We have volunteers all over the country that surpass even the number of agents required for each polling booth so the issue of not being able to supply agents for 90,000 units is a complete fallacy designed by the enemies of progress in Nigeria.

INEC gave a window of up to January 20 for political parties to submit their list of agents for the elections and as such cannot at this time raise concerns about any political party not being able to submit enough agents.

The Labour Party has a task force on the recruitment and selection of agents headed by our presidential candidate H.E. Peter Obi himself and his vice, Datti, the national chairman and the national secretary of the party are all members of that committee.

LPPCC is investigating the source of this propaganda because we know it is not definitely from the INEC.

We appeal to the Obidient family and the teeming supporters of our party to disregard the deceitful information and focus on the collection of their PVCs which are our collective weapons to dislodge the enemies of our dear country.
