Obi managed 13 months of workers’ strike, LP shouldn’t accept him – Sowore

Presidential Candidate of the African Action Congress Omoyele Sowore says it was wrong for the Labour Party to have as its candidate Peter Obi after managing 13 months of workers’ strike as Anambra State governor.

Sowore said this in a video on his Twitter page.

According to him, with Obi’s acceptance, the party had turned itself to an orphanage, accepting homeless politicains.

“The Labour Party has become an orphanage for politicians that are homeless. It didn’t take long before our man ran there when he became homeless,” Sowore said in the viral video.

“The Labour Party should not have in its company somebody who managed 13 months of workers’ strike in Anambra state.

“The reason Obi left PDP was that they outplayed him with transactional politicking. Where is the structure of the Labour Party? You should ask yourself.

“In 2019, the Labour Party presidential candidate got 5,000 votes. I was allocated 33,000 votes. So even if you want to look at the structure, a structure that delivered 33,000 votes is probably bigger and better than that of 5,000 votes.

“The Labour Party and the Peter Obi people should come and join us. We are the ones who know how to stand up for you.

“You said you were a governor of Anambra state. When you were a governor, did you build schools, and universities that your children could attend? Did you build hospitals in that state where you can go for treatment if you fall sick? Did you do quality roads? If it is no, why are you lying?”
