Enugu: The Chijioke Edeoga Governorship Campaign on the platform of Labour Party in Enugu State have assured the campaign’s teeming supporters of their avowed commitment to the struggle for the emancipation of the people of Enugu state.
“The finest of roses are usually found in the midst of thorns, and we are fully energised to find the roses of freedom and development for our people“.
This is contained in a statement signed by the governorship candidate’s spokesperson Engr George Ugwu following a judgement delivered Wednesday by a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja which ordered a repeat primary to nominate a governorship candidate for the Labour Party in Enugu State
Although preliminary information gathered by GMTNewsng correspondent indicates that the Campaign would appeal the ruling, George Ugwu said they were yet to receive details of the court judgement.
The statement reads: “On Wednesday afternoon, a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja delivered a judgement which, according to media reports, has directed that the governorship primaries of the Labour Party in our dear state, Enugu, be re-conducted within 14 days.
“Although we have not seen a copy of the judgement to enable us make an informed decision, it is important to inform our teeming supporters across the state of our unflinching commitment to the struggle for the emancipation of our dear state and her long-suffering people.
“As law-abiding citizens, we will refrain from commentaries capable of undermining the integrity of the courts, but we urge you to rest assured that we will do everything legally possible to defend this mandate.
“We also have, through the years, learned that nothing good in life ever comes easy. The finest of roses are usually found in the midst of thorns, and we are fully energised to find the roses of freedom and development for our people. We are fully aware of this and have prepared ourselves to weather every storm until our mission of a people-centric governance is achieved for the people of Enugu State.
“Our team of legal experts is reviewing the judgement.
“We are committed to carrying everyone along in this journey and will communicate to you, within the next 24 hours, the outcome of our deliberations.
“Again, we reiterate our commitment to work for the best interest of the people of Enugu state as far as this matter is concerned and at all times, while assuring that we will not let you down.
“Signed:
Engr George Ugwu
