The Governorship Aspirant of the Labour Party (LP) in Bayelsa State, Engr. Udengs Eradiri, has called on party members to sustain the “Obedient” movement in the forthcoming state’s House of Assembly elections.
Eradiri urged them to vote for all the LP legislative candidates to prepare the ground for the November 2023 governorship election in the state.
While congratulating the Obedient movement for their exploits in the just concluded Presidential and National Assembly elections, Eradiri advised LP members not to allow the systemic disappoinment dampen their zeal for a better country.
He said to pave the way for Peter Obi’s emergence as President, LP governorship and legislative candidates must win in their various states on Saturday.
He said the case of Bayelsa was significant following an urgent need to uproot all vestiges of the old order, which had kept the oil-rich state in comatose.
Eradiri said: “All of us in the Obedient Movement fought a good fight. We had huge exploits but the electoral system disappointed us. All hope is not lost.
“We need to keep calm, maintain the peace and allow the LP at the national level handle all issues emanating from the presidential election.
“But the job is not done yet. I am calling on all the Obedient to come out en masse in Bayelsa State and vote for LP House of Assembly candidates on Saturday to prepare the ground for the November governorship election in the state.
“Bayelsa is one state that requires the Obedient movement. We need work hard to uproot the corrupt old order and install an accountable and transparent youth-oriented and development-driven government that we change the face of Bayelsa forever”.
