Obetta, on the other hand, urged the team to ensure that the campaign is issue-based and free of violence, regardless of any provocations from opponents.
“LP is a party that is focused, free from violence, because the mission of the party in the country is to collapse the walls of corruption and rescue Nigerians from poverty.
“As I inaugurate you today please avoid any form of violence even in at the face of any provocation and ensure that the campaign is issue-based and devoid of any name calling,” he equally said.
Mr. Chijioke Amu-Nnadi, a Director at the Niger Delta Development Commission, commented on the manifesto, saying that the 8-page manifesto booklet made strong promises to the constituency.

In a statement, Agbo, the campaign director general, thanked Obetta for considering him for the position and promised that he and his team would do everything possible to ensure Obetta’s victory in the 2023 general election.
