“The Labour Party presidential state coordinator in Rivers state and other party stakeholders welcomed me when I arrived.

We had a fruitful discussion, and I let them know that I will be returning for our party’s rally and other LP events in the near future and that I had come to humbly accept an invitation from the Rivers state government.

I would have visited our candidate before or after the event, but no one mentioned that she was ill.

I genuinely hope you recover quickly, and I want to reassure you that we have a fantastic working relationship. God’s blessings are with you continually.
