TRAVESTY OF DEMOCRACY IN ENUGU STATE.

Image
  I bring you good tidings Ndi Aninri . The LGA elections have come and gone . We waited to get a reaction from the state executive council before addressing you.  The whole world observed the sham that happened three days ago orchestrated by the state government and the PDP in the name of elections.  Let no one be dismayed over the outcome , we once more exposed the emptiness of PDP and their comprehensive rejection by the people.  It was expected. We were only relying on God to change their heart and organize a good election but it never came.  My joy is that our grassroots are still intact, we called and they answered resoundingly, proof that their faith in us is unwavering. We are winners !!!  Be not troubled as a law to allow a National body to organize local govt elections is  on the way.  I heartily congratulate all candidates and members for this show of solidarity and power in the midst of intimidation by our opponent PDP. Special thanks ...

DR JOHN NWOKEABIA LAUDS LABOUR PARTY FAITHFUL IN ENUGU STATE.

Image
  The Leader of Labour Party in Enugu West Dr John Okechukwu Nwokebia has Commended the Labour Party faithful over their Conduct in yesterday's Local government Council Election in Enugu State. Gentlemen of the Labor Party, what the PDP and Enugu State Government did in making sure that the ENSIEC LGA elections were not free and fair did not come as a surprise to us.  They made it known through their agents that they were going to write the results of the elections even before the votes were cast. That was why there were no results sheets delivered in any pooling boot in Enugu State.  This was possible because PDP was the judge and the jury in the conduct of their elections. As a result, the will of the people was suppressed, resulting in another setback for Nigeria democracy.  I encourage our labor party members not to be dismayed because the PDP are cowards. It's only a coward who would incidously execute such mayhem against the right of the people with the cover o...
