The Labour Party were very impressed by the large following they believe the party and the Obi-Datti presidential ticket is enjoying in the state.

 

This, added to the pride of place the state enjoys as a melting pot of a cross-section of Nigerians, informed the choice.

 

A source familiar with the workings of the party told Vanguard: “It’s tentative but Jos is the likely venue. We are aware that the state governor, Simon Lalong, is the Director-General of his party’s campaign but our presence should not be an issue.

 

Every state should and would be open for every party to the campaign.”
