Labour Party EU

Delta Government on Sunday approved venue for Labour Party (LP) Presidential Campaign rally in Asaba, the state capital.

The State Commissioner for Information, Mr Charles Aniagwu, who disclosed this in a statement in Asaba, said the state government never denied the opposition party venue for its campaign, contrary to insinuations.

According to Aniagwu, Delta Government, contrary to online reports, never denied the Labour Party venue for their Presidential Campaign rally in the state.

“Labour Party never applied officially for any venue and was denied.

“A representative of the party only spoke to me (Aniagwu) via telephone call on Sunday morning and made demand to make use of the Arcade in Asaba.

“The state government immediately within three minutes reached out to the Oshimili South Local Government Council and secured a waiver of all formalities and made the Arcade available for the Labour party to hold its presidential rally”.

Aniagwu  added that to demonstrate Delta Government’s democratic credentials and tolerance for opposition, it graciously waived the amount payable for the venue.

He urged the party to carry on its rally peacefully in line with laid down rules and regulations. (NAN)

GWG.ng reports that the approval of the Delta State Government of the Asaba arcade for the Labour Party rally is bound to elicit salutary comments given the fact that that Governor Ifeanyi Okowa belongs to the PDP and is the vice-presidential candidate of his party.
