Olu Samuel, Lokoja

The Kogi state Publicity Secretary of Labour Party , Idakwo Emmanuel has said that Labour Party has taking over Nigeria as the only political party the general public trust to rescue the country.

Emmanuel was speaking on Monday in Lokoja during a press chat where he appealed to all Nigerians to be “peaceful and law abiding” as the law was very clear about the position of the constitution on the just concluded general election when Nigerians clearly made their position known on who they wanted as their president.

According to him, “Section 134 of 1999 constitution as amended made it clear that 25% in 2/3 of 36 states is required and FCT. 2/3 of 36 states equals 24 states and FCT.

He said that “For those who argue that FCT is now seen as one of the states, if you add FCT to 36 states making 37, 2/3 of 37 is not 24 or 25.

The judiciary has the responsibility to make this clear interpretation to save our democracy from total collapse.

“As patriotic citizens, we must have faith in the process, remain peaceful and law abiding in this trying time.” He added.

He also stated that Labour Party governorship candidate Barrister Adejoh Okeme is a gift that God has given to Kogi State as we approach November governorship election.

“I Encourage all those agitating for consensus candidate to look beyond all sentiments and support the best candidate that is focused on issues, and has the intelligence, energy, vision and clearness of purpose to turn things around if elected governor.”

” Barrister Adejoh Okeme no doubt is fit for the task ahead. We must come together to support a candidate that is best seen as Kogi consensus candidate. Together we can fix Kogi State”. He said.
