He said, "LP means transformation from all past lethargic ways of doing things. Transformation from corruption. Transformation from the institutionalized structures of evil, and the dismantling of threats to law abiding citizens.

"LP means permanent departure from official perfidy, departure from all the structures that had for so long held the nation down. LP means total departure from the formidably established ugly structures of no well equipped functional hospitals, well paved road network, educational sector, agricultural sector, streetlights, etc.

"I, therefore, urge all our supporters, party members, support groups, friends and well-wishers to ignore all the official/unofficial antidemocratic multidimensional threats from some political office holders in the state, and cast their votes massively for Labour Party.

"Democracy is actually about multiple party participation, and multiple voices participation, as that guarantees progress, dedicated service delivery, effective checks and balances. It is only an indolent minded duty bearer with the heart of a dictator that would want to have a colourless state assembly. This is to enable him fully unleash his dictatorial nature on the citizens without anyone to ask questions.

"Anambra has long passed that style of administrative and leadership anomie. And it takes more than mere political bullying to earn the trust of Anambra citizens. So, we shall go all out on Saturday, March 18, and elect all the 30 Labour Party state assembly candidates so as to guarantee that we benefit fully from the sweeping change coming to Nigeria soon."

He further disclosed that "Our presidential candidate, HE Peter Obi, is making very heartwarming progress daily at the law courts, and would at the appropriate time, recover his mandate."
