Labour Party gubernatorial candidate Edward Nkwegu has urged Ebonyi residents to vote according to their conscience on March 11 governorship and state assembly elections.

Mr Nkwegu made the remarks on Sunday in Abakaliki after a special thanksgiving church service with party stakeholders to mark a peaceful campaign.

According to him, the people’s choice at the election would define the state’s destiny.

He encouraged electorates to do their best and allow God to play other roles.

“Vote with your conscience. Our role is to do what is right, what we can and leave the rest to God. I always thank God for life and opportunities offered so far and ask him to do more,” Mr Nkwegu said.

The gubernatorial candidate further commended the party stakeholders for attending the church service and their efforts during the campaigns and the elections.
