2019: Labour Party faction wants to negotiate with Buhari with claims of 16m votes

The Labour Party has promised President Muhammadu Buhari 16 million extra votes for the 2019 presidential election.

A factional National Chairman of the party, Dr Mike Omotosho, made the promise in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital at the inauguration of ward and local government canvassers of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He however added that the party will only do that if the President’s programmes will positively affect the masses.

According to Omotosho, the Labour Party had a preference for the welfare of the downtrodden and the masses, adding that it was not impossible for the party to adopt Buhari as a presidential candidate if Buhari would work for the uplift of the masses.

Omotosho said: “I am particularly delighted that Alhaji Lai Mohammed is already working towards getting 16 million votes. I want to assure you that with the Labour Party in support of this project, we are bringing an extra 16 million votes from the workers. However, we are still talking. For us in the Labour Party, it is about the masses. As long as the ideals of the Labour Party will be implemented and protected, we are on board.

“I bring them good tidings from the over 16 million workers of the Labour Party.

“We will bring 16 million votes to President Buhari. That is the vote we have.”
