Ndiakwu, a densely-populated village in Otolo axis of Nnewi was agog at the weekend when the candidate of Labour Party (LP) for the 2021 governorship election in Anambra State Obiora Agbasimelo and his entourage visited the area to inaugurate the new party office in Otolo Nnewi Ward 1 and to welcome over 1, 000 new members of the LP who joined from other political parties.

It was gathered that the office was donated by a Chieftain of the party in the ward, Prince Austin Onyekaba.

Addressing the crowd, Agbasimelo said the new party members have heightened his chances of winning the November 6 governorship election, noting that with such gathering in other wards across the state, LP is sure of coasting home to victory on November 6.

While appreciating Onyekaba for his contribution to the progress of the party, the LP governorship hopeful also thanked the new converts for deeming it right enough to identify with his aspiration to become the next governor of Anambra State.

The new entrants assured Agbasimelo of their preparedness to spread the good news about LP and his candidacy, adding that they are capable to deliver Otolo Ward 1 to the party on November 6. Mr Vincent Olisa who joined LP from Young Progressives Party (YPP) and who spoke on behalf of the new converts explained that they were inspired to join LP because the party being the most peaceful in the state with a youthful candidate has a very bright future.

Onyekaba had stated that the people of Otolo Ward 1 had early enough decided to identify with the bandwagon of the LP to avoid lagging behind in the scheme of things in Anambra State.
