The Labour Party (LP) says Nigeria is now in a “comatose” state, saying that the duo of the All Progressives Congress, APC and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP have destroyed the country.
The National Chairman of LP, Julius Abure who disclosed this at an event in Akure, Ondo capital, on Wednesday, said that the continued spate of insecurity across the country was worrisome, People Gazette reports.
“Nigeria is already comatose under this president (Buhari). The security situation is even more alarming as we heard cases of kidnapping every day in this country,”he said.
Abure who was represented at the event by his Deputy, Lamidi Bashiru, noted that the Buhari-led government is complicit in the spate of violence across the country and the killing of innocent people by armed bandits.
He observed that Nigerians have tested the governments of the All Progressives Congress and that of the Peoples Democratic Party, noting that both parties have been in power and failed the people of the nation.
According to him, the presidential candidate of the LP, Peter Obi, decided to join the race to rescue the country from its current economic woes.
“Now, we need someone who can help us to rescue this country and the only person is Mr Peter Obi, our candidate for the 2023 presidential election and in the Labour Party.
“We are very much focused. So, we should make sure that we vote for LP. Let us protect and guard our votes so that they will not steal it,” Mr Abure said.
He added that LP members in Ondo should continue to rally support for Mr Obi’s presidential ambition
