Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi has explained why he did not meet with the Labour Party gubernatorial candidate Beatrice Itubo while in Port Harcourt.
Mr. Obi was in Port Harcourt on the invitation of Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike who was commissioning some projects in the State. But he could not meet with Mrs. Itubo.
“My sincere apologies to Mrs. Beatrice Itubo, the Labour Party candidate in Rivers State for an inadvertent oversight. When I visited Port Harcourt a few days back, I was not informed or aware of her sickness.
“On arrival in PH, I was welcomed by the Labour Party Presidential State Coordinator in Rivers State and other Party stakeholders. We had a useful meeting and I explained to them the purpose of my visit, which was to respectfully honour an invitation by the Rivers State Government and that I will return for our party’s rally and other LP engagements soon.
