UK election justifies Peter Obi as leader of black race – LP chieftain, Eze

The Labour Party, LP, candidate for Abakaliki/Izzi Federal Constituency in the 2023 general elections, Ezeh Emmanuel Eze, has named the party’s presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, the leader of the black race following the LP’s victory in the United Kingdom (UK) election recently.

Ezeh noted that Obi made a pronouncement before the election day, directing the UK electorate to vote for the Labour Party and they gave the party a landslide victory in the country.

He stated this during the LP expanded state-wide stakeholders’ briefing at Citi Hub Event Centre in Abakaliki at the weekend.

According to him, the masses were not just only the followers and supporters of Obi in Nigeria but the entire African countries and the world.

“I’m proud to have a leader. In the UK election, we heard what happened. Peter Obi made a statement and told the people to vote for the Labour Party and the entire election went in one direction.

“We have a man who I can describe as a leader of the black race, not Nigeria,” Ezeh declared.

He further described Obi as the leader of the Labour Party in Nigeria, whom he said, would lead Nigerians to the promised land.

While commending the party faithful in Ebonyi State, Ezeh expressed the stakeholders’ determination to resolve the party’s leadership problems at the national level.

He also stated that the Ebonyi State Chapter of the party had become one united family and would continue to work together to ensure the birth of a new Nigeria come 2027.

“In Ebonyi State, we don’t have any faction in the Labour Party. The Labour Party is a party that has an ideology, the future now is that we have not lost any of our members, because the real owners of the party are intact.

“We have over 5,000 people who attended the meeting. The people are hungry for change and we are ready to give birth to a new Nigeria,” he said.

Recall that the LP members during the briefing unanimously adopted the former Minister of State for Health, Chief Fidelis Nwankwo as their leader in Ebonyi State.
