The party is unique and stands out from other political parties in its ideology and philosophy in human capital management and wealth creation, which makes it mass oriented and vision driven.
“There is also no place for god fatherism as senatorial candidates are mandated to lead and coordinate election campaigns in their zones, bearing in mind that the governorship election in Imo State will be held at a later date”.

“As we all know Imo State guber election won’t take place this period, as a result of this, the three senatorial candidates must have to step up their commitment in leading the way for us to have a robust campaign management in their senatorial districts to ensure the expected victories, while we also wait for the national campaign council to be constituted.
“Labour party in the state has been positioned to absorb and treat with fairness all decampees into Labour Party that have the same vision and ideology with labour party, as politics is a game of numbers. The more, the merrier.
“All strata of Labour party in the state’s organogram should be ready and open for adjustment and harmonization for us to really deepen the spread and penetrate the nooks and crannies of the state as a strategy for winning Elections.

“The candidates of the party in the state as the oil that lubricates the engine should kindly identify with the state and zonal executives in whatever capacity you can to have a better managed Labour Party in Imo state and the Southeast zone.
“If you neglect to support and build these structures, you are inadvertently opening doors for people with sinister motive to infiltrate our ranks and reduce us to the likes of other political parties who have failed.
“I once again welcome everyone and wish us all a smooth and productive deliberation”.
