Against the fear that the Labour Party House of Assembly Candidates would impeach Governor Charles Soludo when elected the State Coordinator for Obi/ Datti Campaign Council, Bar Jeo-Martins Uzodike has denied the allegation.

This is sequel to the news report that supporters of the Labour Party have resolved to vote against the Soludo-led All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) as a mark of protest against the refusal of the governor to support its Presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

This development is currently creating anxiety in the political landscape and has sent the ruling party in the state on the part of a sustained dying-minute campaign to secure the majority seats at the hallowed chambers.

According to Uzodike who spoke shortly after a joint meeting of the campaign council, party leaders and House of Assembly Candidates of the party; “As I said in a radio program today, Soludo is the Father of Anambra State based on his position as the governor and the candidates of the Labour Party are sons and daughters of the state and Soludo is my brother and friend.

“We need the Labour Party House of Assembly Candidates to be at the Assembly to act as a check on the executive arm of government and not to fight or try to remove the governor.

“It is also important that the Labour Party wins the State Assembly election to cement and further sustain the victory of Mr Peter Obi last Saturday when the entire Nigerians came out to elect their President," he said.

It will be recalled that in last Saturday’s election, the Labour Party won two seats at the Senate and six seats at the Federal House of Representatives, a fit the party wants to achieve in next Saturday’s State Assembly election in the state.(New Telegraph)
