The Labour Party candidate for the Oshodi/Isolo Federal Constituency 2 in Lagos State, Prince Okey-Joe Onuakalusi, has said that only the presidential candidate of his party, Mr Peter Obi, has the capacity to turn Nigeria’s fortune around for the better, unlike the standard bearers of the other parties in the 2023 race.
Onuakalusi said the party has no hangover of “godfatherism” and is not soiled by the stains of corruption and embezzlement, which is the case with the other political parties in the race.
Prince Onuakalusi maintained that the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate and his running mate, Datti Ahmed, are individuals who believe that leadership is all about service.
He echoed the general belief among Nigerians that the country is in dire need of rescue from the grips of predatory politicians, whose driving passion is to continue the pillaging of public resources and have no discernable desire or antecedents for prudent management, transparency and accountability in handling of public funds cum governance generally.
The Reps candidate for LP, who is a lawyer, said his dream has always been to serve at the legislature, noting that the credibility of the Labour Party has given more drive to that ambition and that his aims are to bring the blessings of development to Oshodi/Isolo Federal Constituency and the Nigerian federation via his legislative contributions if elected to the House of Representatives in the2023 elections.
“My aspiration is hinged on three cardinal philosophies, which are quality representation, purposeful leadership and proposal of bills that will birth justice, promote fairness to all Nigerians, irrespective of ethnicity or religion.
Moreover, he said, Nigeria needs a legislature that shares the outlook and passion of Obi to redeem the nation from the morass of corruption, incompetence and squandermania.
