Supporters cry out over plot to collapse Labour Party structure in Kwara
Members of the Coalition of Peter Obi Support Groups (CPO) in Kwara have raised the alarm over an alleged plot by some leaders of the Labour Party to negotiate the collapse of its political structure.
The secretary of the CPO in Kwara, Omoniyi Idowu, and lead coordinator of the group, Aloysius Nwora, raised the alarm on Wednesday in Ilorin while speaking with journalists ahead of the Saturday presidential election.
The CPO leaders said they never had and would not collapse their structure or form any alliance with any political party or group of people “to sell the OBIDATTI mandate.”
They explained that the group comprised over 20 support groups in the state, all working day and night tirelessly towards the success of the OBIDATTI 2023 Mandate.
“We, the entire members of the Coalition of Peter Obi support group, Kwara chapter, wish to express our disappointment with some leaders of LP and some greedy candidates who are going around negotiating the collapse of the OBIDATTI structure in Kwara state,” the group stated. “We hereby appeal to members of the general public who have decided to cast their votes for OBIDATTI come February 25, 2023, to ignore whoever may misguide the public between now and before election and stand firm with us for a new Nigeria.”
The group added, “We also advise the greedy individuals who are involved in these dishonest activities to desist from the act. Each of the support groups has structures in strategic local government areas of the state and with a collaborative effort of the support group. The OBIDATTI mobilisation and sensitisation exercise has never ceased to gather maximum backing and ever-ready voters for our principal come February 25, 2023.”
The CPO leaders also mentioned that the organisation in Kwara had existed long before Peter Obi left the PDP.
“We had championed countless numbers of campaigns, grassroots mobilisation and sensitisation across the 16 LGAs of the state and 193 wards in Kwara. We can authoritatively regard the CPO Kwara state chapter as a backbone, strong force if not the most reliable assurance to get the expected votes in Kwara,” they said.
