Why we cancelled Peter Obi 1 million-man march in Kaduna – Labour Party
A member of the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the Labour Party(LP) and a senatorial candidate for Southern Kaduna senatorial district, Michael Ayuba has noted that following the fragile nature of Kaduna State and based on intelligence reports, the 1 million march in the state was cancelled.
He disclosed the party’s decision in Kaduna on Thursday during the harmonization of over 50 support groups in support of Peter Obi’s presidency and all the party’s candidates in the 2023 general elections.
He explained, “We will work with security agencies to ensure that we hold the march in the next two weeks.”
He enjoined the members of the party not to come out on Saturday (1st October), advising that all should stay at home as the party was concerned about their well-being.
Earlier, Jonathan Asake, the gubernatorial candidate for the Labour Party (LP) in Kaduna, explained that the Obi Movement is turning into a revolution because of disenchantment, especially among the youths and the challenges other Nigerians are going through.
The newly elected president of Peter Obi’s support groups in Kaduna State, Morrison Ikpeamaze, expressed joy over his election and said God has vindicated him and promised to work hard for the overall success of the party in the state.
He said from today (Thursday) there’s no faction in the Labour Party, noting, “let us unite and work as a team to surmount any problem that may be a hindrance to the success of the party from the presidency to the state level.”
