Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Ahead of the November 11, 2023, governorship election, the Labour Party has again urged the people of Imo State to liberate themselves from the shackles of poverty and insecurity.<\/p>\n

Imo has faced severe insecurity in the past three years, leading to non-state actors occupying some areas, kidnappings and loss of several lives and properties.<\/p>\n

However, the Labour Party feels it has the capacity to restore normalcy in the State.<\/p>\n

LP National Vice Chairman, South-East, Chief Innocent Okeke told DAILY POST on Friday that the Imo electorate would take their destiny in their hands.<\/p>\n

He said the party\u2019s candidate, Senator Athan Achonu, was prepared to address unemployment, insecurity and deteriorating infrastructure.<\/p>\n

According to him, Senator Achonu has resolved to tackle insecurity in the State by first addressing poverty, unemployment, weak law enforcement, political instability, and inadequate security infrastructure.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201chaving identified unemployment as one of the major factors responsible for insecurity, Senator Achonu according to Okeke will provide youths access to capital and financial services, skills training and entrepreneurship support.<\/p>\n

\u201cSenator Athan Achonu has identified insecurity in Imo State as a major concern and has vowed to give it urgent attention upon assumption into office.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo effectively tackle insecurity in Imo State, he has identified the root causes. These include poverty, unemployment, weak law enforcement, political instability, and inadequate security infrastructure.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo solve insecurity in Imo State, Athan would employ a holistic approach to tackling these root causes.<\/p>\n

\u201cPoverty, according to him, must be addressed by creating jobs and providing economic opportunities for the youth and ensuring they participate actively in governance.<\/p>\n

\u201cLaw enforcement under Achonu\u2019s administration would be strengthened by properly equipping the security forces and providing them with adequate training.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne cannot help but commend Senator Achonu\u2019s emphasis on grassroots engagement and citizen participation. The success of Imo State lies in the collective strength of its people, and Senator Achonu recognizes this crucial aspect.\u201d<\/p>\n
