Labour Party Has Given A Credible Platform For The Next President Of Nigeria - Senator Victor Umeh

Peter Obi

Senator Victor Umeh has commended the Labour Party (LP) for giving Igbo the credible platform to produce the next president of Nigeria through Peter Obi, the former governor of Anambra State.

Umeh, who is the former national chairman of All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, made this known while addressing journalists at the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, state headquarters in Awka.

Umeh pointed out that if not for the LP, Igbo people would have been watching the buildup to the 2023 presidential election from the sidelines, in spite of their contributions towards the development of the major political parties.

Umeh expressed his satisfaction on working with the LP presidential project.

He said: “When this opportunity came, I saw it as a way to work for Nigeria. One should not keep quiet when his people are forgotten. If nothing is done now, we will leave this unfortunate and hopeless situation in Nigeria with our children.

“My joy is that Nigerians have chosen Peter Obi as their candidate for the presidential election. Nigerians from all shades of opinion are clamouring for Obi and that is a wonderful development.

"Those who are championing the Obi presidency have even taken over the project from him. In fact, to say that it is the youths that have taken over the project is to trivialize it as it is not only youths that want Obi to be president. People of all age groups also want him because he is a hot brand.

” Anybody who is not taking the matter serious is making a big mistake considering the momentum it is gathering everyday.

"Since I joined him in this project, I have been contributing my quota to ensure that Nigerians get the kind of president they are yearning for.

“What is happening in Nigeria is divine and it is not based on human arrangement.

“What is driving him are his messages on economy, resource and human management which are what Nigeria requires at this time”.

Umeh is the senatorial candidate of the Labour Party, LP, for Anambra Central for the 2023 election,

Great News! Drug Charges Dropped!-Blessing Okagbare

There were strong indications yesterday that the United States may have dropped ‘all charges’ against Nigerian sprinter, Blessing Okagbare, who is serving a 10-year ban over drugs offences. Okagbare was provisionally suspended for testing positive for human growth hormone in July 2021, just hours before her 100m semifinals at Tokyo Olympics. She was later handed a 10-year ban by the world anti-doping agency (WADA). Before then, Okagbare was under investigation by an American agency for some other misdemeanours. The U.S. Federal authorities had searched Okagbare’s cellphone on her return to the country from the Tokyo Olympics and found she had frequently communicated with Eric Lira, a kinesiologist and naturopathic doctor, who was said to have brought ‘misbranded’ versions of the drugs to the U.S. from Central and South America before distributing them to athletes. But a source close to World Athletics told The Guardian yesterday that the U.S. has dropped ‘all charges’ against Oka...
