The Labour Party governorship candidate in Delta State, Olorogun Abel Edijala, has said that the strategic alliance between the Labour Party and Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, in Delta State will deliver the state to the Labour Party in the re-run election, just as he has dusted his manifesto in readiness for a re-run election campaign.

Addressing newsmen in Lagos recently, he said “we presented a well thought out manifesto which we offered to Deltans in 2007, all we need to do is to dust that beautiful document and represent it to Deltans again”.

He urged Deltans to pay attention to programmes and projects that parties are to offer otherwise they would continue to wallow in the fallacy of choosing leaders based on charismatic prejudices as against global practices of where people look at what plans are on the table.

He maintained that Labour Party had consulted widely and had decided to go into a strategic alliance with the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, towards mobilising Deltans to vote for Labour Party candidate in the re-run election.

According to him “Labour Party and ACN will take over Delta State in the re-run election that is why the alliance we are coming up with will galvanise across the board to see that PDP does not return to power in the state”

Edijala, who stated that the focal point of Labour Party government is industrial revolution of the state with industries either cottage or industrial in every nook and cranny of the state, described the annulment of the 2007 governorship election in the state as a welcome development, saying it was a judgment Deltans and Nigerians are proud of because it is an opportunity to sanitise the Delta State political landscape.

He, however, noted that the 2006 voter’s register in the state contained lots of flaws and irregularities that would never produce a genuine candidate even in a free and fair election.
