Reacting to his comment, Obi, while in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, on Wednesday to support the governorship candidate of the Labour party for the Osun poll,  Lasun Yusuf advised members of the party not to react angrily to the derogatory remark.

He pleaded with the party faithful to return such comments with love.

He said, “I listened to our chairman when he said that somebody said that ‘they can labour till death.’ When they show you hatred, Labour Party will show them love. There is dignity in labour.”

He also called on the people of Osun to support the party’s candidate in the governorship poll to give the state better leadership.

Addressing the rally, Yusuff said the comment about the Labour Party by the APC leader was not in tandem with the attributes of a virtuous Yoruba man

He, however, promised to surprise those that said he would not get votes in Saturday’s election and urged LP members to work hard for victory at the poll.

“He came back yesterday and said we should go and labour till death. That is not an attribute of a virtuous Yoruba person. I described them as people with anonymous background, we don’t know them, their life is anonymous,” Yusuff stated.
