Mr Abure said LP strongly believes it is the only party with the answer to the socio-economic challenges of the state and the nation.
The Labour Party (LP) on Sunday said it was being repositioned to clinch the governorship seat in the Edo 2024 election to rescue the state from its challenges.
In a statement on Sunday, Obiora Ifoh, the party’s national publicity secretary, said the party in Edo commenced a capacity-building programme for wards and local government executives to strengthen and reposition the party for victory.
Mr Ifoh said the party’s national chairman, Julius Abure, at the training, expressed optimism that the Labour Party remained the only political party that could rescue the nation and Edo State from bad governance.
He quoted Mr Abure as saying, “Labour party believes that elections are won and lost at the ward or local governments level, depending on the action and inaction of members.
“This also underscores the importance to build the capacity of our local government and ward officers being trained in the trainer-workshop; they are supposed to replicate the training in their various local government and wards. ”
Mr Abure said LP strongly believes it is the only party with the answer to the socio-economic challenges of the state and the nation.
He said the high level of infrastructure decay, poverty, hunger, and unemployment was unimaginable and the Labour Party had the ideology to change the trajectory and reposition the country for greatness.
“Therefore, Edo is looking up to our party to do the needful by giving them the right candidate that can defend their votes.
“Our main objective today in Edo is how to win the election with the right candidate that has the capacity to win,” said the party chairman.
Mr Abure noted that the same training would also be held in the other senatorial districts as a way of focusing the party for victory in 2024.
