Omoyele Sowore, presidential candidate of the African Action
Congress (AAC), says Labour Party (LP) has become an orphanage for displaced
politicians.
In a video shared on his Twitter handle, Sowore, in what
appears to be a mockery, said the AAC polled more votes than LP in the last
presidential election.
The publisher of Sahara Reporters asked members of LP and
supporters of Peter Obi to join the AAC, saying the former has no structure to
win an election.
Obi left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for LP after it was clear he will not secure enough votes to win the PDP presidential ticket.
The former governor of Anambra won the LP presidential
primary election days after he joined the party.
“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?
“I am not here to do
ethnic politics, I’m not here to do religious politics. I’m here for the
liberation of the Nigerian people.”
