“The party is in severe need of resources essential to prosecute the elections,” the party’s national chairman stated.
He claimed that the country’s presidential election is expensive and that the Labour party would have a difficult time taking on the major parties given their resources and willingness to use them in the election.
Although he acknowledged the big work ahead of the party, he expressed happiness that Nigerians have realized they needed to retake their nation because the vast support and popularity they have recently attracted demonstrate that they are prepared and determined to do it.
He emphasized that since the presidential candidate cannot lead the process alone, the party requires significant funding.
