South South National Chairman of Labour Party, Hon. Felix Reuben has debunked claims that people were paid to join the “OBI-dient” rally in Port Harcourt and other cities.
Speaking to journalists in Port Harcourt yesterday, Reuben said other political parties are only jittery over the growing popularity of the party and its presidential candidate.
He said nobody was given a dime to join the movement, as people are supporting Obi genuinely.
According to him, the party will shock other parties in the coming weeks.
He also debunked claims that the movement in support of Peter Obi is only evident in the urban areas, stating that they are going to demonstrate the movement at the senatorial, LGA and ward levels.
Part of his statement reads,
“We are going to shock them in the next coming weeks, because we are going to demonstrate this at the senatorial district, LGA and wards.
“Each time they talk, they are only giving more strength to go ahead.
“We want to let them know that we are not just in the urban areas, we are right there in the rural areas, we are going to these places they think we cannot reach.
“They should just hold themselves. We have not started a campaign, we have time to move.
“Every day we have people from the rural areas coming to identify with the movement.
