The National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP), Barr Julius Abure, has declared that all supporters of the party will serve as agents on the days of the forthcoming 2023 general elections.
Speaking during a press conference on the forthcoming presidential election on Saturday, February 25, Abure pointed out that Nigerians should know that all the support they have given to the Labour Party will amount to nothing if they do not come out to vote and defend the votes.
‘I want to say clearly that all supporters of the Labour Party and Peter Obi must realise that they are all agents of the party,’ Abure said while urging his party supporters to defend their votes.
‘The responsibility to defend our votes, the responsibility to act as agents should not be left in the hands of accredited party agents alone. If you are a supporter of Peter Obi, if you are a supporter of any of the candidates of the Labour Party, if you are a supporter of the party, you must therefore be an agent for the party on that day of the election.

‘I will, therefore, expect that you will not only go to the polling booth to cast your vote but have a responsibility to also defend your votes. We appeal to you to vote, be on standby, keep an eye on INEC officials, keep an eye on security agencies, keep an eye even on the accredited party agents so that you can provide checks and balances on whatever is being done.
‘You have the responsibility to question any activity that you find will compromise the processes of this election. I am therefore saying that all our supporters are polling unit agents. In order, you are one of our ambassadors, you are one of those who will help us to stand and defend our votes, Abure submitted.
