I’m optimistic I’ll win Imo guber, says LP’s Achonu

Athan Achonu, govenorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in Imo, says he is optimistic about winning gubernatorial election in the state.

Achonu said Imo people are yearning for a change and have found the LP as the solution to their problems.

He spoke after casting his vote at Numo Primary School, Umuchoke Umunomu, booth 008, in Ehime-Mbano LGA of the state.

The LP candidate commended the turnout of voters for the election which he noted was impressive and a show of love for him and the party.

“The process is smooth at the moment. I have just cast my vote and as you can see, the voters are calm and have refused to be bought over. They know what they want,” Achonu said.

“The truth remains that Imo people are tired of bad governance. They are tired of going hungry as a result of the APC misrule.

“And today, they have thronged out in their numbers to make a strong statement. They have all chosen the Labour Party as an alternative to solve the Imo problems.

“I am very much optimistic of victory and I believe there will be no compromise because we have our eyes on them as well as the security agents.

“Let us continue to be vigilant and not allow results to be collated at LGA headquarters where APC has staged its rigging mercenaries.”
