The Abia State chapter of the Labour Party has charged its National Assembly candidates to shun mudslinging and make issues, competence and their track records the centrepiece of their campaigns.
The State Chairman, Hon. Peter Azubuike, gave the charge following the commencement of National Assembly campaigns by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, on Wednesday.
Azubuike also urged party leaders, members and supporters to embrace peaceful and responsible political engagement and comply with INEC’s guidelines throughout the campaign.
He said candidates should use the campaign to clearly present their legislative agenda and explain how they intend to attract development and effectively represent their constituents.
