Labour Party and its unconventional organic structures

Peter-Obi and Alex Otti alliance for a better society that creates wealth and economic prosperity for the people, this alliance alone is building its own structures naturally

Yesterday, at the state headquarters of Labour Party, Abia state, we had a reception for a group of young people selected across the 17 LGAs and several wards from Abia state.
The group, named ‘Naijayouths4peterobi’ would be making its second visit, this time with coordinators and foot soldiers across all the 17 LGA’s Abia State, led by its state coordinator Mr. Chibueze Paul-Dike. What was the purpose of the visit; to align with the mother party to establish its strong quest for Change beginning from the state with Dr. Alex Otti as the Labour Party gubernatorial candidate to the national level with Mr. Peter Obi as the incoming President of a new Nigeria of hope for all.
Followed by the group is another set named ‘Takebacknaija group, Abiyouths4peterobi and the Nigeria Christian Forum, (NCF) Abia State Chapter and more, all lined up for various consultations with the state Chapter of Labour Party.

“our structures are unconventional, they are organic in the sense that the economic hardship and the insecurity in the land is enough to drive people into a formidable group to chase away these weak and clueless characters parading as rulers”

We are in a virtual war, strategists and propagandists are proponents of this battle and for the sake of public awareness, the story circulating from Imo state about moles planted by the Supreme Court Governor of Imo state as candidates of Labour Party should not be relied upon but serves as part of the propaganda machineries of those who do not wish Nigeria well and most importantly, the South East region
Secondly those accusing Labour Party as ‘structureless’ knows it is an organized worker’s and ordinary peoples’ party but are hinged on the premise of war rhetoric such as ‘if you can confuse them, route them and divert them’ you win.
However, I am compelled to make this statement that Labour Party in Abia state alone has several structures buoyed by the sheer failures of those that has been in government over the years, feeding fat on the frustrations and pains of the people yet never having enough, lying and deceiving the people at every occasions.

I don’t know what other structures anybody want us to build except the type celebrated by those that has destroyed this state and the entire nation with their gangs of miserable followers and sycophants

That singular repeated evidence of failures at all sectors of the economy and at all times is enough to drive people to band together and build their own structures to oust the weak people of low IQ and loose moral conscience in leadership at all sectors of governance in the country and that is the origin of Labour Party and its unconventional organic structures.

In Abia state for instance, I don’t think there is any amount of inducement that can convince the people to allow the ruling party to continue in its sheer wickedness and leadership of ignorance.
The people are wiser now and knows who their real enemies are, the same way it is across the 36 States of the federation.
Responding to the group, the Chairman of Labour Party, Abia State Hon. Ceekay Igara advises that the alignment with the mother party should begin from the ward level where every member of any pro-group is resident at then moved to the LGA and finally aligned with the state headquarters, that way it is easy to adopt all pro groups and prepare them as party agents at the appropriate time.
More so, In due course, as event unfolds daily, those accusing Labour Party of having no structures will have to look our for other propaganda rhetoric because our structures are unconventional, they are organic in the sense that the economic hardship and the insecurity in the land is enough to drive people into a formidable group to chase away these weak and clueless characters parading as rulers both at the state level and at the national level.

“the alignment with the mother party should begin from the ward level where every member of any pro-group is resident at then moved to the LGA and finally aligned with the state headquarters, that way it is easy to adopt all pro groups and prepare them as party agents at the appropriate time.”

Dr. Alex Otti, the Abia state Labour Party gubernatorial candidate and state leader of the party has been in the forefront through its Alex Otti Foundation and other pro-groups aligned to his programmes and also harmonizing various groups springing up from the state by virtue of the Peter-Obi and Alex Otti alliance for a better society that creates wealth and economic prosperity for the people, this alliance alone is building its own structures naturally.

Till date, the number of party membership cards that has been distributed through the Alex Otti and Peter Obi alliance is running into millions and more to that, among all the Political parties in Abia state, the state office of Labour Party has been the busiest, that is another evidence of the organic structures springing up across the divides, individuals and groups naturally walk into the office demanding to be registered as card carrying members of the party and assigned further responsibilities that are bound to bring the kind of changes we want for the people and the country.

“those accusing Labour Party as ‘structureless’ knows it is an organized worker’s and ordinary peoples’ party but are hinged on the premise of war rhetoric such as ‘if you can confuse them, route them and divert them’ you win.

Therefore in the midst of all these development, I don’t know what other structures anybody want us to build except the type celebrated by those that has destroyed this state and the entire nation with their gangs of miserable followers and sycophants that want us all to maintain the statusquo, that is not acceptable and Labour Party is here to prove a difference that when the people chose to rise and defend their right to existence and freedom, no amount of propaganda can stop them.
