In a recent statement, Ezeh Emmanuel Eze, the Labour Party (LP) candidate for Abakaliki/Izzi Federal Constituency in the 2023 general elections, has praised the party's presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, as reported by DAILY POST.
Eze named Obi the leader of the black race after the LP's recent victory in the United Kingdom (UK) election.
Eze highlighted that Obi had directed the UK electorate to vote for the Labour Party before election day.
This guidance led to a landslide victory for the party in the UK.
He made these statements during the LP expanded state-wide stakeholders’ briefing at Citi Hub Event Centre in Abakaliki over the weekend.
According to Eze, Obi's influence extends beyond Nigeria, reaching African countries and the world.
Eze also described Obi as the leader of the Labour Party in Nigeria.
He believes Obi will lead Nigerians to the promised land.
Eze commended the party members in Ebonyi State and underlined their determination to resolve the party's leadership issues at the national level.
He mentioned that the Ebonyi State Chapter of the party is united and committed to working together for a new Nigeria by 2027.
“I’m proud to have a leader. In the UK election, we heard what happened. Peter Obi made a statement and told the people to vote for the Labour Party and the entire election went in one direction.“
"We have a man who I can describe as a leader of the black race, not Nigeria,” Eze said.
During the briefing, LP members unanimously adopted the former Minister of State for Health, Chief Fidelis Nwankwo, as their leader in Ebonyi State.
