"The Labour Party NWC, State Chairmen and Senatorial candidates, I apologise for not being with you physically. We had agreed that we needed to hold this strategy session before we commence the electoral campaigns in about a week.
"Due to the sympathy I have for ASUU and the strike that has kept our children out of school for the past seven months, I could not fly to Abuja."
ASUU strike, other issues calls for change in leadership
According to him, the strike is an issue of national concern which should compel everyone to seriously consider the need for a change in Nigeria's leadership in 2023.
He stated that although the LP is much smaller than some major political platforms in the country, it now has the burden of salvaging Nigeria on its shoulders.
His words:
"ASUU strike and the many other problems confronting Nigeria, must compel us to reassert or resolve to ensure that there is a leadership change in Nigeria come 2023.
"Even though the Labour Party is by far smaller than the other major parties, our party now carry the burden of salvaging Nigeria on her shoulders."
