Anyaso Campaign Storms Bende Town, Rallies Support For LP

The Campaign Council of the Labour Party candidate for Bende Federal Constituency, Dr. Chima Anyaso, on Friday took its ward-to-ward campaign to Bende Ward, where it promised quality representation and urged residents to support Labour Party candidates in the 2027 general elections.

The tour is part of the council’s Ward-to-Ward Campaign across the 13 wards of Bende Local Government Area of Abia State.

Leading the delegation, the Director-General of the campaign, Pastor Dike Okechukwu, addressed residents and stakeholders of Bende Town, calling for support for Labour Party candidates from the governorship of Governor Alex Otti down to the House of Assembly.

Okechukwu recalled his role in the 2015 political process that led to the emergence of a Bende son in the House of Representatives in 2019, noting that the principle of political rotation should be respected.

“In 2015, I was among those that took the son of Bende Town to all the communities in Bende to say that it was the turn of Ikwuisii, and that ambition materialised in 2019. Now, I am telling Ndi Ikwuisii that 2027 is the turn of Umunna,” he said.

He described Dr. Anyaso as a vibrant young man who will speak boldly for the people if elected, and urged the electorate of Bende Ward to vote for the Labour Party so that after eight years power would return to Ikwuisii.

Also speaking, the Labour Party candidate for Bende South State Constituency, Hon. Chinedum Edwin Okorie, urged the people of Bende Town to vote for Dr. Anyaso, Governor Otti, the Senatorial candidate and himself for the prosperity of Bende.

The Abia North Zonal Coordinator of the Labour Party, Chief Emeka Charles Kalu, also encouraged party members and residents to participate actively in the electoral process.

“Therefore Ndi Bende, I want to challenge you today to convince ten other people to vote for Labour Party from top to bottom,” he said.

In her vote of thanks, the Deputy Mayor, Hon. Mrs. Ngozi Sandra Anya, spoke against third-term representation and assured attendees that their votes would be protected.

She declared that Bende people will not allow anyone to go for a third term, while assuring them of the campaign’s commitment to protecting voters’ rights.

“Don’t be afraid, nothing will happen to your vote, we will protect it, just vote for Labour Party all the way,” she said.
