Labour Party Unveils Peter Obi Campaign Council List

Labour Party has unveiled the Peter Obi Campaign Council List.

Newsone reports that Labour Party (LP), Nigeria’s opposition party, has unveiled a 1,234-member Peter Obi campaign council ahead of the 2023 presidential election.

This online news platform understands that Doyin Okupe, a former member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and ex-aide to Olusegun Obasanjo, is the Director General of the campaign.

Others are Oseluka Obaze, the Deputy Director General and General Manager of the campaign; Alhaji Yusuf Bello Maitama, the Deputy Director General (North), and Denzel Kentebe, the Deputy Director General (South).

Addressing a press conference just before the unveiling, Okupe said there was no doubt that the ascendancy of the Labour Party presidential candidate to a “prime position in the hearts and minds of the Nigerian people, has been fuelled by the patriotic zeal, vibrancy, creativity and shining example, in discipline, character and decency of the Obidient movement.”

He said because of the capacity of Obi the Obi-dient movement has today rapidly evolved into the biggest voluntary political movement in Nigeria history.

Newsone Nigeria reports that Okupe noted that empirical polls, from the hearts and minds of those who are publicly on the opposing side, placed Peter Obi, clearly and far ahead of the pack, as the right man for the transformational leadership Nigeria needs.

Therefore, Okupe assured Nigerians, that “as we commence the campaign for the 2023 elections, in earnest, our party and our candidates, will remain committed to honest, clean and issue-based engagements, with the Nigerian people, whose mandate we seek, in order to turn around the fortunes of this our great, but badly misgoverned country.”
