Arinze, who formally unveiled the presidential candidate of the party, Mr Dumebi Kachikwu said: “We have resolved to deepen our presence in Anambra State. We have chosen Mr Dumebi Kachikwu as our presidential candidate and we are ready to go with him and ensure victory.
“We are not bothered about the noise on social media about the candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi. All that will die down before the 2023 election.
“We have comfortably entrenched ourselves as the third force in Nigeria politics, and our structures are visible for all to see. Go to the wards, local government areas and states, you will see our offices everywhere.
“Since I entered Anambra, I have been looking around to see if I can spot the offices of the Labour Party, but there is none. Tell them to go and build structures before they can come back to contest an election.
“It is important for people to know that there is no election on the social media, what they are doing is paying social media influencers to make noise about them,”
