To all “Obi-dients:
As we mobilize for a rebirth and progress through a Peter Obi Presidency, it is important for us to ensure that his government is provided with the necessary legislative support and protection that will enable him govern and discharge his duties effectively and expeditiously without hindrance, disruption or undue delay at the National Assembly.
The structure of governance in Nigeria at both State and Federal levels, is such that the Executive Branch cannot operate successfully on its own.
It requires strong legislative cooperation and support too.
Therefore, if Peter Obi is sent into Aso Rock without a supportive National Assembly, we run the dire risk of having his government, intended policies, programs and projects being held hostage by hostile political opponents (APC and PDP) bent on thwarting the collective hope and aspirations of Nigerians who want and desire a departure from the status quo.
This is not time for hoping that legislators from other parties will cross carpet as it used to be when the Executive branch is led by another party.
The Electoral Act as amended and recent judicial interpretations have demonstrated that it is no longer business as usual.
All “Obi-dients” across the nation and worldwide are therefore now put on notice to this urgent, yet impending catastrophe, and must be mobilised to enthrone a Labour Party dominated National Assembly (Senate/House of Representatives), thereby securing our hope for a true government of change from the extremely dangerous security situation in the country, the dilapidation of Infrastructure, demise of our educational system, and uncontrolled decline in our economy and the value of the Naira.
Peter Obi’s avowed commitment for a new and better Nigeria must be secured.
The clarion call is to VOTE Peter Obi and Labour Candidates for National Assembly; LABOUR ALL THE WAY!
Chief Obi Aguocha,
(Ogwumabiri Umuahia and Udo Ji Agu-Ohuhu)
Labour Party Candidate for House of Representatives, Ikwuano-Umuahia Federal Constituency.
