The Imo State chapter of the Labour Party (LP) has begun the process of reconciling all aggrieved chieftains of the party in the state.
The reconciliation process, according to the newly inaugurated State chairman of the party, Calistus Ihejiagwa, is to ensure that Governor Hope Uzodimma is defeated at the November 11 governorship election in the State.
Ihejiagwa said the doors of the party are open to bring back all its members who are ready to work for its success at the election.
The LP chairman said the party is leaving no stone unturned in ensuring that Uzodinma, whom he said has misruled the State is sacked as a governor.
He said: “We have begun the reconciliation process of bringing back all our leaders and members into the fold. All our members who have genuine reasons would be given due attention.
“We are committed to taking over the Imo State government house. APC has brought pain and suffering to the people of the state. We are genuinely engaging everybody who needs to be talked to. The ultimate goal is for the Labour Party to take over the government.”
While inaugurating the State Working Committee at the party secretariat in Owerri, the State capital on Sunday, the LP South East Zonal chairman, Innocent Okeke, charged them to work to deepen the party in 305 wards in the State.
According to Okeke, the LP is masses-driven, saying that its chances of winning the November 11 governorship election are dependent on its level of acceptance by the electorate.
He said the party has a quality candidate in Athan Achonu, adding that with the LP’s manifesto, residents of the State are ready to entrust their mandate to the candidate of the party.
