From George Onyejiuwa, Owerri

Major-General Lincoln Ogunewe (retd) has declared to contest the Imo State gubernatorial race on the platform of Labour Party (LP) scheduled for November 11, 2023.

He said he has the requisite qualification and experience to provide good governance to the state.

“I came to start from home. This is my first meeting with you. I am here to tell you that I’m a strong member of the Labour Party who is fully supporting the party’s presidential and vice presidential candidates, Peter Obi and Yusuf Datti.

“I am into the governorship race to tackle infrastructure and empowerment issues that debilitate the state, its citizens and strangers alike, because government is a catalyst for positive social and economic change. I promise to champion pure development, create viable employment, encourage agriculture, standardise quality and affordable education, enhance commerce and industry in order to better the lives of our people.”

He spoke in an  address at Ward 12 and LGA Ezinihitte Mbaise members of Labour Party at his residence, Umuakam Umudim Apkodim and Okpofe Town Hall in Ezinihitte Mbaise LGA of Imo State.

Imploring the people to vote for Obi, his running mate and other candidates of LP to win and meet their needs, Ogunewe told the people to discard fear, anti-party activities,  describing the party as mass-oriented geared towards restoring lost glory of the state and the punctured dignity of the people.
