The Labour Party (LP), in Imo State, has urged its members and supporters, as well as Imo people to ignore any report that Labour Party has withdrawn its its petition against the last gubernatorial election in the state.
A statement signed by Mr. Ihejirika Emeka, Legal Adviser, Labour Party Imo State, debunked reports that the Tribunal has exhausted its adjudication on the “meritorious petition brought by our gubernatorial candidate, Distinguished Sen. Athan Achonu,” adding that the petition was “progressing very well and by God’s grace the next Governor of Imo state Senator Athan Achonu.”
“For the sake of clarity, our petition is moving ahead and is presently at the pre- trial stage. We will soon go into full hearing of the petition wherein we shall satisfactorily prove our grounds and move the tribunal to grant all our reliefs.
“We shall do our best to regularly update the public as the petition progresses.
“The leadership of Labour Party in Imo state enjoin our members and supporters to remain steadfast in passionate support and belief in the positive change that Labour Party represents.”
The statement expressed the strong belief that the mandate Ndi Imo gave the Labour Party and its candidate, Achonu would be restored to them despite the delay.
