By Deborah Oladejo, Osogbo

Presidential candidate of Labour Party, Dr. Peter Obi on Wednesday called on the electorate in Osun State to vote for the governorship candidate of the party, Hon. Lasun Yusuf in order to reposition the lost glory of the State. 

Speaking at a mega rally for the gubernatorial candidate of the party in Osogbo, Obi noted that All Progressives Congress (APC) has failed and must not be given any chance to rule again.

He appealed to Osun residents to secure the future of their children by voting for Labour Party’s candidate, Lasun Yusuf.

He said: “We want to recover your future; they have no job, no food, your children are not in school, their children are schooling overseas. This is the time for you to recover Nigeria. This is the time for you to take back Nigeria. 

“They are owing salaries; they are owing pensions. Those people that are working hard have not been paid. Someone said they will labour till death. In LP. We want to move Nigeria from consumption to production. You cannot do production without labour, so there is dignity in labour and those who have laboured will get their reward.

“Vote for LP so that your children can have a job, vote for people that will work for you. We want to change Nigeria and the only way we can change Nigeria is to remove all these people who have put Nigeria where it is for the past 23 years.”

Also speaking, National Chairman of the party, Julius Abure appealed to their supporters not to be tempted by money from other political parties, urging them not to sell their votes.

Abure noted that the redemption of Nigeria begins with ensuring the election of Lasun Yusuf in Osun State.

Yusuf, while addressing his supporters stressed the need to go back to production and agriculture for economic growth which he is set to enact.

“The only way we can move from this pedestrian level is to make sure we start the manufacturing level. The stage in economy is production, manufacturing and service but unfortunately we have been pretending for the past 60 years to think we can compete with the developed world and be operating the service economy like them. We have to go back to the production level,” he said.
