The governorship candidate of Labour Party (LP) in Enugu State, Chief Chijioke Edeoga has assured the people of Enugu State that he would use every legal means to reclaim his mandate.
Edeoga made this known on Tuesday while celebrating the victory of Hon. Obi Ijere who was elected to represent Udenu constituency at the State House of Assembly.
He stated that there would be no negotiation with anyone, since the Peoples Democratic Party brazenly stole the mandate given to him by the people of the state, adding that “no retreat, no surrender”.
He said: “This is the 9th day they seized your victory after the election, but today they have announced you the winner. God’s power is more than human power. Anybody holding what does not belong to him, must release it when hands started paining them.
“This is my first outing since the election, since they temporarily stole our mandate. Since then, I have been in my house but I am here to celebrate with elected House of Assembly members in Udenu Local
“We have to be in mood of prayer always, asking God for favour and mercy because there is never a time the power of man will overpower God’s power. They are trying to thwart the truth, they are running to Abuja and other places to forestall our victory but Enugu State had casted vote and the vote was for Labour Party, LP, and Chijioke Edeoga.
“Enugu State residents casted their votes for Labour Party and Chijioke Edeoga and wherever Enugu State residents stands, there will I stand. I will do everything to make sure we do whatever our dear Enugu State want. So, no retreat, no surrender. No negotiation. Forward ever, backward never until victory is assured.”
