The National Chairman of the Labour Party, LP, Julius Abure, has identified major fears ahead of the November 11 governorship election.
Abure said the level of insecurity in Kogi and Imo States was a major source of worry ahead of the governorship elections.
Speaking on Channels Television’s People’s Townhall on Election Security on Sunday, the LP Chairman noted fewer threats in Bayelsa state, unlike Imo and Kogi State.
Abure said LP candidates in Imo and Kogi States are worried about their lives and properties.
“My party and candidates are apprehensive about the security situation in Imo and Kogi especially. All through our campaigns, our office has been attacked severally by unknown gunmen, who, in some cases, security agencies accompany [those who carry out] some of those activities that took place in the attack on our office.
“All of these activities raise serious issues about the security of lives and properties in Imo and Kogi. Our primary worry as a political party is in Imo and Kogi.
“We have less violence about Bayelsa. Bayelsa may not be a very serious flashpoint. We are not seriously worried about Bayelsa State,” he said.
