National Chairman of Labour Party, Julius Abure, has said that the party would be difficult to beat in future elections if it can put its house together.
Speaking at a Town Hall meeting in Lagos organized to receive a prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State, Hon. Francis Barthlomew Chima, who defected to Labour Party, Abure said that the party won the 2023 presidential election but the victory was stolen.
He commended Chima for defecting to Labour Party, adding that LP is the only party with the capacity to turn the country around for the better.
Speaking after his defection, Chima said that he decided to join Labour Party in order to achieve his ambition of serving Ajeromi Ifelodun Federal Constituency in the National Assembly.
Chima who also built a befitting secretariat for the party in Ajeromi Ifelodun said that he joined Labour party with winning mentality and has the confidence of contributing immensely to the success of Labour Party in Lagos State and beyond.
He said that when he was contesting for the House of Representatives in 2023, he was in the Court of Appeal till one week to the election and was able to pool more than 20,000 votes.
According to him, now that he is starting in time, it is only God that would stop his victory.
“His words: I am defecting to Labour Party to win. Those who me know, also know that I have winning mentality. It is this mindset that I have brought to the party and I am confident that the wave that started in 2023 will continue in 2027. Labour Party is going to take over most of the political spaces in the country.
I am already impacting positively on the life of the people in Ajeromi Ifelodun in my private capacity, what I am looking for is a platform to do more, which I know that the National Assembly will give to me.”
