From Okwe Obi, Abuja
The Kebbi State governorship candidate on the platform of the Labour Party (LP), Gambo Tase, has boasted that his party would snatch the state from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), in the 2023 general poll.
Tase, at a press briefing yesterday in Abuja, also noted that the popularity of the party’s Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi has attracted wide acceptability across the state and beyond.
He accused the APC government of running the state aground despite huge financial allocation from the Federal Government and revenue generated.
“They have corrupted governance and for goodness. What we need today is a change from what the political parties have given us so far.
“The truth is Labour Party came in as a party that is in the middle. And having a presidential candidate that is a core professional financial, developmental guru, what he needs are not politicians, he need technocrats and professionals.
“Those are the people that will drive his government to achieve his aim of turning Nigeria into a productive country and not a consuming country.
“Labour Party is very popular in Kebbi State. Because, I assure you that the electorate in Kebbi State were virtually begging for an alternative and when Labour Party entered, it is moving like a wildlife,” he said.
He reeled out a 6-point agenda bordering on security, health, infrastructure, land resources/ agricultural transformation and digital economy and wealth creation.
“My six-point agenda will address; security, health, infrastructure, land resources/ agricultural transformation, and digital economy and wealth creation.
“I hereby step forward to offer myself for election into the office of the governor of Kebbi State so that the people begin to enjoy the democratic benefits of security and prosperity.
“I am the candidate of the Labour Party. The only political platform that can liberate our long-suffering people from decades of incompetence and corrupt politicians, he added.
