The President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Mr. Abdulwaheed Omar, Sunday said he would lead the Labour Party (LP) governorship campaign in November 16 election in Anambra State.

According to THIS DAY LIVE, whilst speaking with journalists at the weekend shortly after its 16th National Executive Council (NEC), Omar said workers in the state had suffered in the previous regimes and wondered why they would toy with the opportunity to enthrone an LP government in the state.

He called on workers in the state to learn from the gains of the party’s governments in both Edo and Ondo States.

He said the LP would campaign in Anambra State the way it did in Edo and Ondo States.

"We will even do more, we will tell the skeptics that Labour is the party that Nigerians need if they want development as it's being witnessed in Edo and Ondo States," Omar said.

While endorsing the candidature of Ifeanyi Ubah, the NLC leader said: "We have now resolved that we will not only go and cast our votes and fold our arms after sensitising the workers and other Nigerians, but we will monitor the collation, the counting up to the declaration of the results. We will encourage every worker to ensure he or she is be part of the monitoring.

"Anambra State is a very unique area particularly to workers because if you go and ask the state workers if they are fully enjoying their minimum wage, you will hear their answer; whether they are very comfortable in their various places of work, you will hear the answer. Not only workers, even market women and other people, therefore I think Anambra people are desperately looking for a change and a change for the better."
