A chieftain of the Labour Party in Edo State, Oghogho Okundaye, yesterday, appealed to party faithful and supporters to come out enmasse to vote for candidates of the party in areas where the rerun are to be held.

He said the electorate should not be discouraged by the shenanigans that played out during the general election but put up the no submission garment and fight progressively to finish.

Okundaye who was a former youth leader, said members of the Obedient Movement of Labour Party in the state should be encouraged by the zeal and doggedness of their principal and presidential candidate Peter Obi by not relenting until Progressives are elected into political offices not only in Edo State but Nigeria at large.

Okundaye also enjoined the various candidates participating in the supplementary election to be steadfast, just as he applauded the tenacity which they have displayed so far and encouraged them not to relent as there will definitely be light at the end of the tunnel.

The LP Chieftain called on all the stakeholders involved in the election, especially INEC and the various security agencies to be professional in their conduct on that day and remain unbiased to help forestall any form of intimidation and violence that might likely mar the process.

He also congratulated Christians in the state for successfully celebrating Easter, while enjoining them to imbibe the selfless doctrine which Christ has already laid down for us by dying for our sake.
