The man who clearly won the 2007 Governorship election in Imo State, but was robbed by the powers-that-be, Chief Martin Agbaso, on Tuesday, October 1, 2022,  gave the State’s Chapter of the Labour Party, LP, wings to fly, literally.

A politician of no mean reputation, Agbaso recently dumped the All Progressives Congress, which he helped to form the Government in 2020, over the wave-making Peter Obi, the Presidential candidate of the LP.

On Tuesday while commissioning the headquarters of the Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign headquarters in Owerri, cheered-on by thousands of people who thronged the venue, Agbaso assured of the victory of Peter Obi in 2023 as the President of Nigeria.

The former Special Adviser on Ecology to former President Olusegun Obasanjo told the crowd: “If I was not convinced that Peter Obi is Nigeria’s next President, I would not have accepted to serve as Imo State Coordinator of his Presidential Campaign Council.”

When he raised the hands of the LP State Chairman, Sir Ambrose Onyekwere, he pledged his loyalty to Onyekwere. “I want to assure you of total loyalty to your leadership. Nobody will touch you.”

On the chances of the Presidential Candidate, Agbaso declared: “I want to inform all of us here that Peter Obi has already won the 2023 Presidential election. This is so because he is the most qualified of all the candidates none of whom can boast of his achievements ad former Governor of Anambra State.

“It is worthy to note that Obi left 150 million US Dollars in the coffers of Anambra State at the end of his tenure. Here is a man who never got a satchel of pure water or a plot of land from Anambra State as former Governor.”

A well-grounded  grassroots politician, Agbaso conducted the Governorship  Primary of Anambra State in 2014.

In Owerri on Tuesday, he harped on the need for synergy between the party leadership and the Presidential Campaign Council. He assured that high technology would be deployed to monitor the election from the well-equipped headquarters of the Imo LP.

Agbaso’s younger brother, Sir Jude Agbaso, was the first Deputy Governor of Imo State under the administration of Owelle Rochas Okorocha.
